A
That's
always
a
challenge
on
just
before
the
meeting.
The
number
of
things
that
come
in
that
we
try
to
digest,
especially
sorry
for
Krista.
Okay,
the
agenda
is
up
on
the
screen
now,
so
I
will
get
the
show
on
the
road
I'd
like
to
call
the
meeting
to
order
for
June
22nd
2020,
as
we
all
know,
we're
currently
broadcasting
unzoom
and
my
streaming
on
YouTube.
Given
this
meeting
is
being
held
electronically
I
want
to.
E
A
That
there
made
the
possibility
of
technical
difficulties,
especially
with
the
Thunder
I,
hear
rumbling
in
the
background,
should
there
be
any
disruptions
that
would
ask
everyone
to
remain
patient
as
we
work
to
fix
the
issue
and
resume
the
meeting
as
soon
as
possible.
I'd
like
to
start
this
meeting
for
those
of
you
who
are
watching,
we
have
a
new
face
around
the
virtual
table.
Please
join
me
in
welcoming
our
newest
member
of
the
autumn,
Police
Services
Board
Miss
Beverly
Johnson
Beverly,
was
appointed
by
the
leftenant
governor
of
Ontario
for
a
three-year
term.
F
A
A
Okay,
so
now
we're
going
to
have
some
delegations
and
I'm
waiting
for
the
I
have
to
make
an
adjustment
here.
Okay,
so
now
I'm
going
to
proceed
with
the
agenda
that
the
Auto
Police
Services
Board,
confirming
the
agenda
of
the
22nd
of
June
2020
meeting
is
the
agenda
confirmed
father
I
need
consents
not
during
any
dissents.
The
next
item
is
the
confirmation
of
minutes
minutes
20
22nd,
no.
A
A
C
A
To
sense
the
next
item:
are
there
any
declarations
of
interest
and
okay?
So
now
we're
going
to
go,
we
have
folks
in
public
delegations
this
evening.
We
have
a
number
of
them
and
what
I
like
is
when
I
call
your
name
and
introduce
you.
I
lost
the
executive
director
to
unmute
you
so
that
you
can
begin
speaking.
You'll
have
five
minutes
to
speak,
not
including
any
questions.
The
board
may
ask
you
following
your
presentation.
If
you're
speaking
to
a
specific
item
in
the
agenda,
I
will
hold
your
presentation
until
we
get
to
that
item.
G
So
I'll
just
jump
right
into
it.
So
thank
you
for
accepting
this
item
for
consideration
on
your
agenda.
I'll
just
largely
read
the
same
letter
expand
on
it
a
little
bit.
Perhaps
this
is
the
letter
I
sent
to
the
chair
via
the
executive
director
and
then
I'm
happy
to
take
your
questions.
If
you
have
any
so
in
recent
years,
a
trend
has
emerged
in
Canada
where
in
police
services
are
presenting
a
more
intimidating
and
someone
would
even
feel
menacing
face
to
the
public
by
way
of
how
police
services
are
choosing
to
paint
vehicles.
G
This
trend
is
towards
darker
tones,
less
visible
markings
which
do
just
legitimately
feel
more
intimidating.
So
my
question
to
this
to
the
board
is
what
public
policy
Google
does
that
choice
achieve?
It
certainly
isn't
to
make
it
easier
for
the
public
to
see
police
officers
if
they
needed
one
as
such
I'm
recommending
to
the
board
that
you
provide
direction
to
the
Auto
Police
Service
to
ensure
that
this
practice
does
not
take
root.
G
G
Maybe
that
trend
is
already
underway
at
the
Auto
Police
Service
and
it
should
not
continue
and
therefore
M
through
that
begin,
the
process
of
repainting
vehicles
in
the
style
of
perhaps
the
Battenberg
markings
which,
as
a
term
I,
wasn't
aware
of
until
I,
did
a
little
research
and
it's
we
can
just
collectively
think
of
what
do
police
vehicles
in
the
UK
and
Europe
look
like
they
are
extremely
high
contrast
vehicles,
there's
no
there's
no
guessing!
You
know.
G
You
know
what
it
is
and
that's
a
very
intentional
choice
that
police
services
in
Europe
made
Battenberg
Martin
Kings
were
first
developed
in
the
mid
1990s
in
the
United
Kingdom
by
the
police
scientific
development
branch.
At
the
request
of
the
Association
of
Chief
police
officers,
they
were
first
developed
for
traffic
patrol
cars
in
the
UK
and
then
subsequently,
because
they
were
so
successful.
Private
organizations
and
civil
emergency
service
vehicles,
such
as
fire
trucks
and
ambulances,
have
also
used
them.
G
G
So
so,
just
in
closing,
I
recommend
the
board
direct
to
the
Auto
Police
Service,
to
explain
its
current
policy
on
vehicle
markings
and
then
subsequently
justify
why
the
service
has
not
already
optimized
the
painting
program
for
visibility,
trustworthiness
and
officer
safety.
Thank
you.
I'd
be
happy
to
take
your
questions.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
Kevin
appreciate
your
your
taking
the
time
to
come
and
speak
to
us.
I
just
want
to
start
off
with
a
couple
of
questions,
and
perhaps
a
comment
you
mentioned
that
there
was
the
same
cost
as
the
current
that
brighton
burg
program
was
the
same
cost
as
the
current
yet
and
a
little
bit
of
research
I
did.
One
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
was
what
was
identified
as
the
high
cost
of
adopting
to
the
new
the
new
method
of
marking.
A
A
It
would
be
interesting
to
you
to
know
whether
they
still
use
them
there
and,
if
not,
why
not
and
the
other
area
that
I
understand
they
were
used
in
was
in
Charleston,
South
Carolina.
So
it's
I
mean
it's
always
easier
in
policing
when
you
can
the
way
and
make
it
simpler
for
people
to
understand
all
of
the
angles
on
things.
So
those
were
my
questions
and
if
you
wanted
to
answer
that's
great,
otherwise
we
could
go
on
to
other
members.
Sure.
G
And
so
too,
the
cost
question
I,
don't
I,
don't
foresee
myself
so
even
suggesting
that,
at
the
snap
of
a
finger
that
police
service
be
directed
to
allocate
an
entire
large
line-item
to
repaint
all
vehicles
simultaneously,
that's
simply
just
not
it's!
It's
not
a
pressing
problem
necessarily,
but
it's
it's
a
I,
think
I'm
approaching
the
board
more
and
if
the
cost
is
basically
negligible
between
one
painting
style
and
another,
especially
amortized
over
a
course
of
a
service
lifetime
of
a
vehicle
and
always
in
relation
to
just
the
price
of
gas.
G
So
if
the
price
of
gas
is
represents,
98
percent
of
the
cost
of
a
serve
a
police
service
vehicle
over
its
lifetime,
I,
don't
think
we
should
get
too
caught
up
on
the
painting
style
if
that
painting
style
does
legitimately
make
the
police
service
more
approachable
for
all
members
of
our
of
our
community
and
I
think
this
is
probably
very
affordable.
I,
of
course,
don't
have
the
data.
G
So
that's
why
I
structured
my
request
to
the
board
to
actually
be
to
direct
the
police
service
itself
to
come
up
with
these
answers
to
they
are
the
experts
in
all
of
the
costs
and
things
like
that
to
the
second
question
is
it:
is
it
still
used
I'm,
not
certain?
It's
obviously
I'm
taking
one
step
back
and
going.
What
is
the
public
policy
goal
we're
trying
to
achieve,
and
is
that
if
we,
if
we
have
a
goal,
that's
already
been
identified
by
the
painting
system?
G
Is
the
painting
system
we're
using
now
meeting
those
goals
as
effectively
as
other
alternatives
or
and
and
I
suspect?
This
is
actually
the
case.
The
police
service
really
hasn't
been
given
any
direction
on
this
from
its
civilian
oversight
body,
so
it's
just
been
carrying
on
it
in
its
own
way
and
it's
and
it's
an
acceptable
thing,
but
let's
make
it
really
better.
So
what
is
better?
G
I
personally
think
that
highly
visible
high
contrast,
no
questions
asked
that's
a
police
vehicle
which
doesn't
include
any
of
the
intimidating
hints
that
are
visible
in
the
appendix
I've,
provided,
which
was
really
just
a
news
article
from
a
few
years
ago,
which
really
do
contrast
and
I
think
any
any
person
can
just
look
at
two
police
vehicles
spanning
a
decade
or
two
between
the
police
services
that
were
identified
and
just
go.
You
know
what
the
photos
on
the
left
from
the
past
are
way
more
accessible
than
the
ones
on
the
right.
G
The
vehicle
on
the
Left
I'm
willing
to
approach
the
vehicle
on
the
right
seems
menacing
and
but
I
don't
want
to
think.
Have
the
board
think
that
I'm
just
here
saying
Battenberg
paintings
are
the
best
I'm
here
it
suggestions
the
board.
What
is
your
view
on
what
the
best
presentation
of
the
police
service
is?
What
is
the
goal
of
that
presentation
style?
Is
the
Police
Service
meeting
it
right
now
and
what
else
should
you
direct
them
to
do
to
make
the
service
even
better
for
every
resident
in
our
community?
That's.
A
A
C
G
So
I
have
a
split
answer
to
that.
It's
something
I
would
like
to
see
going
forward
at
the
police
service,
providing
a
friendly,
never
intimidating,
face
to
the
public.
These
specific
incident,
I
have
in
mind
is
not
actually
about
the
paint
color
itself
of
a
car.
It
was
one
day.
G
I
was
walking
down
Bank
Street
during
lunch
back
when
we
got
to
go
downtown
for
work,
or
at
least
most
of
us
did
and
I
was
just
looking
at
a
police
officer
who
was
attending
to
someone
on
the
street
or
their
partner
was
they
were
just
standing
there
and
I
was
just
remarking
on.
They
visited
the
the
presentation
of
that
officer.
They
were,
of
course,
wearing
a
vest.
G
Big
vest,
big
belt,
large
gun,
but
mo
the
thing
that
struck
me
was
gloves
and
wraparound
opaque
glasses
that
completely
obscured
what
the
officer
was
doing
with
their
eyes,
and
it
just
I
must
I'm
a
six
point:
six
foot,
one
220
pound,
male
and
I'm,
intimidated
by
that,
and
then
I
just
think.
How
do
other
people
in
our
community
feel
when
they
are
don't
have
the
privileges
that
I
have
of
walking
down?
The
street
and
I
never
get
picked
on
really.
How
do
they
feel
approaching
an
officer
that
looks
like
that?
G
So
this
is
all
I
mean
this
is
part
of
a
wider
dialogue
of.
Do
you
ever.
Does
everyone
in
our
community
feel
safe
approaching
the
police?
The
answer
is
no
and
I'm
currently
seized
on
the
painting
styles,
because
it's
just
a
I
feel
it's
a
smaller
issue
that
we
can
talk
about
and
and
reason
about,
and
probably
all
agree
that
yes,
police
vehicles
should
not
look
intimidating
and
that's
why
I'm
bringing
this
to
the
board
for
its
consideration
to
direct
to
the
police
service
separately?
G
A
F
G
I
mean
I'm
using
Battenberg
markings
as
the
example
to
help
build
this
narrative
of
what's
more
approachable.
What
do
you
feel?
What
do
people
feel
better
about
in
terms
of
accessing
their
police
services?
I'm
I,
don't
want
to
change,
is
the
wrong
word,
but
it's
biased
the
board.
The
board
towards
any
one
particular
thing.
I
think
we
should
have
a
clear
policy
perhaps
that
it
within
that
is
within
the
board's
mandate
to
say
to
the
police
service.
G
We
want
a
style
of
marking
for
the
police
vehicles
that
ensures
the
following,
and
then
the
board,
in
its
wisdom,
could
enumerate
what
those
things
are.
I
would
suggest
to
the
board
that
they
are
approachable,
transparent,
high
visibility,
safety
so
forth,
and
then
just
have
the
police
service
through
the
chief
answer
to
the
board
with
either
oh
look.
There
is
an
existing
policy
here.
It
is
we're
already
good
and
we
just
our
hands
and
walk
away
or
the
police
service
comes
back
and
says
you
know
what
we
haven't
really
formalized
this.
G
We
haven't
we've
just
been
kind
of
on
autopilot
about
this,
but
we're
gonna
we're
going
to
go
back
to
the
shed.
Come
up
with
something
and
bring
it
back
to
you
and
in
that,
but
within
those
that
framework,
if
the
board
could
enumerate
to
the
police
service,
what
those
goals
are,
what
has
the
pollak
policy
objective,
then
I
think
we'd
be
on
the
right
track.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
Kevin
tonight.
I
would
just
for
your
interest
note
that
I
have
an
inquiry
outstanding
with
respect
to
the
very
the
other
issue
you
raised,
which
was
the
uniforms
and
the
approach
ability
of
officers
and
the
the
wearing
of
dark
glasses
and
the
decision
about
what
uniforms
should
be
made
at
what
a
penny.
So
what
I?
What
I
would
suggest
that
we
do
is,
as
I
will
incorporate,
basically
expand
my
earlier
inquiry
about
the
the
uniform,
the
attire
of
the
officers
to
include
the
the
markings
on
the
vehicles
and
I.
A
Think
that
perhaps-
and
you
make
a
very
good
point
about
it-
it's
a
it's
a
policy
discussion
that
what
what
the
image
do.
We
want
to
see
our
service
portraying
and
trying
to
get
away
from
the
idea
of
being
a
force
and
more
of
it
being
a
service,
and
so
I
will
suggest
that
that
going
forward,
this
becomes
an
issue
that
the
policy
and
governance
committee
looks
at
to
better
frame
it
and
then
move
forward
with
with
some
policy
and
discussions
that
we
can
then
forward
to
the
service
for
for
the
services
comments.
So.
A
B
A
G
The
car
and
for
this
purposes,
like
I,
brought
this
to
the
board
and
if
it
turns
out
that
the
police
services
already
has
a
policy
and
I
just
was
simply
not
aware
and
the
board
views
the
current
policy
as
meeting
the
objectives,
then
I'm
happy,
because
that
means
we've
stopped
the
trend,
at
least
in
Ottawa.
The
appendix
I
provided
showed
some
other
major
cities
in
Canada,
definitely
trending
towards
more
menacing
vehicles.
G
Just
one
thing
on
because
I
made
a
comment
about
a
officer's:
uniform
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
it.
So
my
father
was
a
police
service
member
in
the
audience
for
a
long
time
and
officers
since
we're
on
the
adjacent
topic
of
how
they
dress.
I,
don't
see
officers
in
public
who
look
like
what
my
dad
looked
like
when
you
stop
by
for
lunch
on
shift,
but
sorry
I,
don't
expand
the
scope
of
what
I
came
here
to
say
so.
A
A
G
A
You
thank
you
very
much.
The
next
public
delegation
that
we
have
listed
to
speak
is
going
to
go
to
my
screen
here.
Sariah
Ahmed,
who
is
the
chair
of
the
justice
for
deira
hormone
coalition
and
Robin
brown
and
Robyn
Brown
I,
have
to
apologize
I.
Think
of
one
of
the
versions
of
the
agenda.
Your
name
was
misspelled,
but
that
has
now
being
corrected
and
Robin
is
from
the
UN
persons
for
African
descent
push
coalition.
So
I'll
turn
the
floor
over
to
you
now.
C
F
F
F
Begin
my
portion
of
the
presentation
today
without
acknowledging
the
tragic
death
of
mr.
EJ's
Chaudhary
a
62
year
old
man
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis
and
was
killed
by
a
peel
Regional
Police
in
paramilitary
fashion.
Before
you
dismiss
his
death
as
may
be
an
issue
that
doesn't
affect
your
jurisdiction.
Let
me
quickly
remind
you
of
Abdul
Rahman
Abdi.
He
was
a
37
year
old
black
man
who
was
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis
and
who
died
at
the
hands
of
an
Ottawa
police
officer.
F
That
officer
was
daniel
mon
sheong
and
he
was
subsequently
charged
with
manslaughter
an
aggravated
assault
and
assault
with
a
weapon
in
connection
to
a
man's
death.
The
extrajudicial
killings
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
at
the
hands
of
police
has
become
a
pandemic.
This
pandemic
requires
the
same
level
of
coordination,
creativity,
diligence
and
far-reaching
approaches
established
by
public
health
officials
for
kovin
19
in
august
2016.
Our
coalition
offered
41
comprehensive
recommendations
on
how
to
improve
the
police
service
and
community
relations.
F
Two
years
in,
we
asked
for
a
status,
update
and
received
little
more
than
non-committal
empty
words
around
each
one,
and
we
are
exactly
two
years
till
that
day
for
years,
we
have
sought
to
negotiate,
to
discuss
and
to
politely
urge
those
in
authority
to
take
substantive
actions
to
address
the
circumstances
above
direct
man's
death
and
the
underlining
issues
and
policies
that
enabled
his
life
to
be
taken.
The
way
that
it
did
demands
for
justice
have
reached
a
boiling
point
and
we
cannot
ignore
them.
We
are
tired
of
waiting
patiently
for
this
system
to
work.
F
The
undeniable
truth
is
that
it
is
killing
us.
The
unjust
killing
of
Abdul
Rahman
is
the
hallmark
of
a
broken
system.
It
is
a
betrayal
of
a
duty
by
police
by
those
with
which
we
have
entrusted
the
most
significant
of
responsibilities,
the
use
of
public
for
the
use
of
force
in
a
society
where
violence
is
otherwise
universally
abhorred.
E
Can
you
all
still
hear
me?
Yes,
we
go
ok,
so
thanks
for
here
so
so
what
is
the
solution?
We
need
to
reimagine
what
law
enforcement
look
like
in
Ottawa.
Consider
the
following
from
2014
to
2020
the
opiates
budget
increased
by
37%
one
inflation
was
less
than
3%
we're
talking
about
a
97
million
dollar
increase
in
police
budgets,
while
the
Health
Service
budget
decreased,
88
million
in
the
same
period.
This
year
long,
the
o-p-s
budget
increased
by
12
point
7
million
to
358
million.
E
This
means
that
the
police
budget
cost
the
taxpayers
more
than
transportation,
libraries
and
the
public
health
combined.
So
the
solution
to
police
brutality
and
racial
inequalities
in
policing
is
simple.
The
first
we
see
a
deep
defund
police
instead
of
funding.
A
police
force
that
resembles
an
armed
militia
invest
a
sizeable
chunk
of
our
city's
budget
in
communities,
especially
marginalized
ones,
where
much
of
the
policing
occurs
by
defending
we're
not
calling
for
the
abolition
of
policing,
rather
a
proper
Riyadh
allocation
of
funding
that
could
begin
the
process
of
ending
the
culture
of
police
brutality.
E
It
means
understanding
that
many
black
and
other
racialized
Canadians
would
never
call
the
police
for
help
for
fear.
They
might
end
up
dead,
and
this
is
no
surprise,
as
history
tells
us
that
the
original
idea
of
policing
comes
from
the
south
in
the
US,
where
or
from
slave
patrols,
where
they
were
hired
to
recapture
escaped
slaves.
E
E
Our
own
Prime
Minister,
our
first
Prime
Minister
Sir
John,
a
MacDonald
got
the
idea
for
the
Mounties
from
the
Royal
Irish
Constabulary,
a
paramilitary
force
that
the
British
created
to
keep
the
Irish
under
control,
MacDonald
envisioned
his
own
Constabulary,
except
instead
of
the
Irish
Fela
controlling
this
is
people
living
on
the
land
and
today,
police
disproportionately
use
force
against
black
people,
and
black
people
are
more
likely
to
be
arrested
and
sentenced.
The
history
is
ingrained
in
our
law
enforcement.
E
Reallocation
means
we
can
invest
in
social
services,
for
mental
health,
domestic
violence
and
homelessness,
among
others.
Police
are
often
the
first
responders
to
all
three
and
they
shouldn't
be
given
that
most
9-1-1
calls
are
from
mental
health
services,
health
and
EMT
and
fire
services.
So
our
proposal
is
this.
Given
all
this,
we
proposed
the
autumn.
Police
Service
immediately
launched
a
Coe
development
process
with
the
community
to
identify
to
which
social
services
it
will
be
most
effective
to
shift
police
funding
and
create
a
plan
to
do
so.
F
Members
of
the
board
I
want
to
leave
you
with
this
final
thought.
Given
this
brief
historical
context,
it
should
be
no
surprise
to
you
that
the
last
several
weeks
has
forced
us,
North
America,
to
finally
face
this
racist
history
and
as
a
Police
Service
Board
responsible
for
the
national
capitals
police
force.
You
need
to
take
these
matters
very
seriously.
In
addition
to
considering
our
proposal
for
the
reallocation
of
funding
I'd
like
to
leave
you
with
the
following
five
minutes
is
not
enough
time
to
express
the
pains.
The
community
is
suffering.
F
5
minutes
is
not
enough
time
to
dismantle
a
policing
system
rooted
in
racism
and
slavery.
5
minutes
is
not
enough
time
to
root
out
racism
within
the
ranks.
When
will
this
board
hold
the
public
session
dedicated
to
this
issue
and
give
it
the
time
that
it
needs?
When
will
the
board
members
themselves
carve
out
time
in
their
own
lives
to
set
aside
and
do
some
deep
soul-searching
and
reviewing
of
policies
and
asks
yours
ask
yourselves
what
systems
are
harming
our
communities?
What
biases
do
I
have
that
might
make
me
blind
to
the
community's
experiences.
A
D
A
Thank
You
member
Norman
are
there
any
other
board
members
who
wish
to
weigh
in
I
think
one
of
the
things
I
can
say:
I'm
sort
of
a
larger
picture.
This
this
issue
has
been
building
for
a
long
time
and
I
think
we've
sort
of
realized.
There
is
a
time
and
place
for
police,
but
it's
not
all
the
time
and
it's
not
every
place
and
what
we're
really
and
that's
what
it's
become,
and
we
really
need
to
look
at
a
way
of
rebalancing
that
so
I
can
assure
you.
A
This
is
something
that
every
board
member
is
seized
with
and
is
treating
seriously,
and
we
will
give
the
time
we
will
make
the
time
for
you
I
personally
commit
that
that
we
that
certainly
I'm
prepared
to
to
sit
down
and
have
a
more
much
more
in-depth
dialogue
and
I
know
that
when
we're
on
our
previous
bored,
we
looked
for
when
we
reached
out
and
looked
for
changes
that
happen.
We
realized
that
there
had
to
be
changes
from
the
bottom
to
the
top
and
unfortunately
and
I
realized
how
this
is
upsetting
to
many
people.
A
But
in
an
organization
like
this,
sometimes
changes
take
time
and
I
know.
That
sounds
like
an
excuse,
but
it
is
a
reality
that
we
faced,
but
once
again,
I
really
appreciate
your
your
taking
the
time
to
come
and
speak
to
us
and
speak
to
us
in
a
thoughtful
manner
and
outline
the
the
issues.
As
you
see
them
and
I
commit
to
you
that
we
will
make
sure
that
we
make
the
time
for
you
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say.
A
C
Robert,
yes,
yeah
I
just
want
to
thank
both
presenters
for
continuing
to
bring
this
to
the
forefront.
I,
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
chair
Smallwood
said
and
what
member
Berman
had
said
that
we
are
definitely
here
to
listen
and
to
put
change
forward.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
continue
to
bring
this
forward
and
we
are
definitely
willing
to
work
with
all
stakeholders
on
making
the
change
that's
required
once
again.
Thank
you.
A
H
You
all
hear
me:
yes,
I
can
okay,
wonderful!
Thank
you,
hello,
Missoula!
You
know,
obviously,
before
I
begin
I'd
just
like
to
acknowledge
that
were
on
me
and
surrendered
all
and
obviously
given
the
current
context,
it's
very
important
to
acknowledge
it.
In
particular,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
the
recent
death
of
Chantel,
more
of
the
magnate
Gina.
You
know
her
death
bill
came
only
days
after
the
Commissioner
of
the
RCMP
tonight.
H
H
H
H
Speech
earlier
this
year,
building
communities
required
balance
of
spending
or
boots
on
the
ground.
He
says
will
not
solve
the
root
cause
of
when
we
agree
with
that.
As
I'm
sure
you
know
most
people.
This
is
not
a
new
or
novel
idea,
but
if
this
is
the
case
for
the
mayor,
why
does
he
allow
10%
of
our
entire
city
budget
to
be
sent
on
sources
and
to
give
you
one
idea
of
how
much
or
yes,
50
million
dollars
would
be
the
over
16,000?
H
H
G
H
Percent
of
the
departments
will
roll
call
volume.
Not
only
has
this
approach
been
safer,
but
it's
actually
also
saved
the
city
money.
I
didn't
have
million
dollars
per
year.
Finally,
before
I'd
like
to
address
the
recent
assault
of
obesity,
something
that
justice
for
Abby
coalition
wanted
to
address,
but
given
the
strict
time
constraints
of
this
board
meeting,
we're
not
able
to
buy
them
in.
H
Here
in
Ottawa
is
just
another
example
of
how
violence
against
black
people
has
been
willfully
ignored
by
our
institutions
on
April
4th
a
bylaw
Fetty
in
the
mouth.
While
he
was
on
the
brown
Durham
and
Michelle
Heights
Park
bring
a
physical
sitting.
Cracked
Fendi
was
ticketed
2010
dollars
for
two
violations
under
the
provincial
emergency,
which
I
take
effect
earlier.
H
Following
an
investigation
of
the
incident
police
found
that
the
bylaw
officer
committed
assault
and
the
vile
officer
himself
confessed
the
wrongdoing
at
the
police,
yet
they
charged
his
daughter
had
to
witness
her
father
being
punched
in
the
face
Chucky
and
for
taking
her
out
in
some
air
so
that
you
know
the
Commission
committee.
Rather
in
an
are
calling
on
and
asking
this
board.
Will
you
launch
a
thorough
and
impartial
investigation.
H
Hands
with
mile
officer
as
to
why
it's
afforded
to
the
officer
and
questioned
by
the
Ottawa
Police
Service,
the
City
of
Ottawa,
must
immediately
drop
any
fines
levied
against
mr.
rivetti
during
this
incident.
Any
partners
to
address
racism
not
only
within
the
police
within
ottawa's
bylaw
department
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You
very
much
for
your
presentation.
I
would
just
like
to
point
out
one
thing:
this
board
does
not
have
the
mandate
to
carry
out
investigations
or
a
policy
board.
We
do
budgeting,
we
do
strategic
direction,
but
we
do
not
have
the
ability
to
do
investigations,
but
with
respect
to
the
one
incident
you
mentioned,
I
will
be
raising
a
policy
question
in
my
inquiries
later
in
the
meeting
specifically
about
the
incident
that
you
mentioned.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
just
so.
You
know
that
some
of
the
board
members
I
think
we're
having
difficulty
with
your
connection.
A
B
Thank
you
sandy.
Thank
you.
So
much
yes,
I,
want
to
thank
mr.
Hirsch
for
his
presentation
is
obviously
very
passionate
about
this
I
just
wanted
to
say,
asked
I,
guess
my
question
is
mr.
Hirsch.
Would
you
be
satisfied
if
I
know
we're
talking
about
reallocation
of
funds,
but
80%
of
the
police
budget
pays
for
bodies
like
that's
staffing
salaries,
so
only
20%
of
it
goes
to
programs.
Are
you
would
you
be?
B
Would
you
advocate
for
slashing
the
number
of
police
officers
in
this
city,
because,
right
now
we
have
neighborhoods
that
are
dry,
they're,
crying
for
more
police
officers
and
we're
trying
to
put
them
there,
but
we
just
don't
have
the
resources
so
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is
when
we
say
reallocate
that
includes
staffing.
How
do
you
feel
about
cutting
the
ranks
of
the
police?
Is
that
something
that
you
are
looking
at
or
what
would
what.
A
H
Good
I
apologize
before
about
if
my
connection
sort
of
skewed
what
I
was
saying,
but
thanks
for
your
question,
counselor
me
in
and
to
that
you
know,
I
would
say
you
know
we
first
of
all
that
I
think
people
to
imagine
an
alternative
to
policing,
because
that's
all
you
know
have
known
for
a
very
long
time.
So
in
that
context,
I
just
people
have
been
asking
for
more
police
a
lot
of
them,
because
I
think
that
they
don't
know
an
alternative
to
ask
for
other
than
more
police
for
protection
and
and
again
to
that
point.
H
I
would
ask
no
unsub
the
subject
like
the
police
or
anything
else
like
you
know,
building
more
roads
or
something
like
that
when
it
comes
to
the
police.
There's
always
a
fur
outcry
when
those
things
are
cut,
but
when
it
when
it
comes
to
cutting
social
services
when
it
comes
to
cutting
staff
from
a
public
health,
cutting
funding
from
libraries,
for
example,
there's
no
outcry
or
not
similar
outcry
than
there
is
to
the
police.
So
I
would
ask
you
a
similar
question
like
what
a
with
cutting
social
services,
but
not
okay,
with
cutting
the
police.
H
A
That
is
because
the
public
sees
and
once
the
police
to
receive
the
funding-
and
that
is
what
they
have
when
we
did.
An
outreach.
I
know
that
the
there
was
comments
about
accessibility
and
ability
to
speak
to
the
board.
We
did
a
across
the
city,
outreach
to
all
communities,
all
counselors,
all
various
groups,
and
we
asked
them
what
they
want
to
see
and
their
policing
and
what
changes
they
wanted
to
see
and
what
was
made
very
clear
to
us,
since
they
wanted
to
see
an
investment,
an
increased
investment
in
neighborhood
policing.
A
That
was
a
very,
very
clear
message
that
the
board
took
away
from
its
outreach,
and
that
is
why
we
we
made
the
changes.
We
did
to
increase
the
amount
of
neighborhood
police,
the
that
what
are
called
NR,
T's
neighborhood
resource
teams.
We
spent
the
time
and
the
effort
to
to
say
that's
what
the
public
wanted,
and
so
we
directed
the
police
in
that
direction.
When
we
do
our
planning,
that's
what
we,
what
we
do,
we
listen
to
what
the
public
says
now.
A
Sometimes
it's
contradictory
there's
demands,
for
instance,
for
body
cameras
and
and
that
takes
a
huge
amount
of
resources.
There's
demands
for
community
placing
and,
at
the
same
time,
there's
requests
that
we
look
at
reducing
the
funding
to
the
police,
and
yet,
as
the
consular
man
suggested,
it's
actually
86
percent
of
our
budget
goes
to
compensation,
there's
an
additional
amount.
A
That
is
payments
that
we
have
no
control
over,
which
takes
us
to
92%,
which
means
we
only
have
8
percent
of
the
budget,
that's
really
discretionary,
and
that
deals
with
things
like
vehicles
and
and
other
items
that
are
non
compensation
related.
So
we
are
challenged
there,
but
I
do
hope
that
you
will
attend
the
budget
because
we
will
be
having
public
opportunity
to
speak
to
the
budget
and
go
over
the
the
amount
of
money
that
comes
in
and
where
it
goes
out
to.
A
Are
there
any
other
counselor,
any
other
board
members
that
have
questions
for
mr.
Hirsch
I'm,
not
hearing
any
so
I
will.
Thank
you
very
much
once
again
for
your
your
comments
and
obviously
it's
counselor
me
and
suggested
you're
very
passionate
about
it
and
that's
important
I
would
like
to
now
go
on
to
our
fourth
senator.
Thank
you,
Ethan
Sabra.
If
you
would
like
to
start
to
give
your
presentation
hi.
I
Just
making
sure
that
I
sound
relatively
clear,
yes,
you
do.
Okay,
hi
I
want
to
preface
my
comments
just
by
going
back
to
the
last
time
that
I
spoke
publicly
about
an
issue
of
municipal
politics,
which
was
just
a
few
short
weeks
ago.
At
the
public
comment
to
the
planning
committee,
along
with
many
community
organizations,
I
stood
in
opposition
to
urban
boundary
expansion.
This
might
seem
unrelated
to
the
Police
Services
Board,
but
I
do
want
to
just
quote
from
my
speaking
notes
at
that
meeting.
I
These
demands
for
defining
the
police
are
not
new.
They
are
not
only
in
response
to
the
killing
of
George
Floyd
or
of
regis
court
schinsky
Paquette,
chantal,
more
deandre,
combo
Campbell.
U
jaws,
Chaudhary
or
Rodney
levy
there
in
response
to
the
list
of
names
itself,
which
has
been
growing
since
the
advent
of
policing
in
Canada,
when
the
northwestern
Mounted
Police
were
founded
to
clear
indigenous
peoples
off
their
lands
to
allow
for
colonization.
I
Like
Robin
said
before
back
at
that
urban
boundary
meeting,
I
begged
the
committee
to
imagine
a
radically
just
open
and
utopian
City,
which
works
for
all
today,
I
ask
you,
members
of
the
Police
Services
Board,
to
join
me
in
the
same
act
of
imagining.
We
are
seeing
the
power
of
a
global
uprising
against
policing
calling
on
cities
to
reconsider
their
priorities
and
to
invest
heavily
in
the
kinds
of
services
that
really
keep
their
citizens
safe.
I
That
means
divesting
from
our
police
service
and
reinvesting
that
money
and
more
into
those
earlier
points
from
public
housing
to
free
public
transport.
It
also
means
rethinking
our
emergency
response
units.
We
do
not
need
to
bring
armed
officers
to
situations
where
people
are
in
mental
health
crises
and
even
if
they
are
not
armed,
we
do
not
need
to
bring
police
officers
at
all
in
the
case
of
Abdul
Rahman
Abdi,
who
deserves
some
semblance
of
justice
and
I,
would
say
the
immediate
firing
of
mr.
I
Monty
on
who's
managed
to
make
more
than
$500,000
in
compensation
from
the
city.
Since
he
brutally
beat
a
resident
of
our
city
to
death.
We
can
see
that
even
without
the
use
of
firearms
or
tasers
or
even
batons,
the
police
in
our
city
will
use
their
license
to
kill
and
they
defend
that
life,
even
when
it
is
so
obviously
and
blatantly
used
against
the
vulnerable,
as
we
can
see
by
the
campaign
to
support
mr.
I
Monty
on
with
thin
blue
line
style
bracelets
sold
by
members
of
the
o-p-s
to
each
other
and
to
other
police
forces
across
the
country.
Instead
of
bringing
the
police
to
health
crises,
we
should
be
bringing
only
trained
unarmed,
de-escalation
professionals,
mental
and
physical
health
experts
and
others
who
may
be
needed
to
assist
in
addressing
the
cause
of
the
crisis
like
in
several
cases
in
Canada,
as
outlined
in
desn't
Cole's
book,
the
skin
were
in
police
are
responding
to
residents
who
are
in
crisis
as
they're
in
the
process
of
being
evicted
from
their
homes.
I
In
multiple
such
situations,
including
the
killings
of
Pierre
Curie,
along
and
Maj
shwarma
dude
police
have
killed
the
person
in
distress.
I
think
this
shows
that
it
would
be
worthwhile
to
ban
the
practice
of
evictions.
I
know
that's
not
your
jurisdiction.
At
the
very
least,
we
should
be
providing
housing
and
housing
support
workers
to
these
people
in
crisis.
I
Not
cops,
I
hope,
though
I
do
not
assume
that
members
of
the
board
have
had
a
chance
to
look
over
the
demands
of
the
black
lives
of

Toronto

repeat
a
few
of
them

It
is

and
more

City
I
believe
that
that
might
be
what
your
job
is
asking
of
you.
It
is
definitely
what
your
city
is
asking
you
I
was
at
the
Regis
Court
schinsky
Paquette,
vigil
the
protest
at
Parliament
Hill,
and
the
protest
on
Saturday
outside
of
the
police
station
City
Hall.
It
is
time
to
act.
I
direct
the
board
to
commit
to
implementing
the
relevant
changes
from
including
defunding
the
police
by
a
significant
amount
as
soon
as
possible.
I
I
also
suggest
that
you
all
read
or
listen
to
interviews
about
the
work
of
Angela
Davis,
Miriam,
Kaba
and
Ruth
Wilson
Gilmore.
The
latter
is
very
easily
accessible
in
the
latest
two
episodes
of
the
intercepted
podcast.
Please
actually
listen
to
it.
We
can.
We
can
do
this.
We
can
change
how
things
work
in
the
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
E
A
F
A
You
thank
you
very
much
any
other
comments.
If
not
that,
like
I
said
I
do
want
to
thank
you.
I
know
it's
people
have
a
lot
on
their
tables
and
to
take
the
time
to
come
out
to
speak
about
things,
your
Russia,
but
is
very
important
and
that's
why
we're
here
as
member
name
and
it
said
before
we're
here
to
listen.
So
that's
what
we're
doing,
and
hopefully
we
will
be
able
to
take
away
some
good
things
from
from
the
presentation.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
So
we'll
hold
your
comments
until
we
those
items
on
the
agenda,
so
the
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
for
us
are
the
committee
meetings,
reports
from
committee
chairs
and
minutes
and
the
the
one
that
we
have
is
the
finance
and
Audit
Committee
meetings.
Number
10
of
the
4th
of
June
2020
as
chair
of
the
finance
and
Audit
Committee
I
will
provide
a
brief
update
on
the
meeting
that
took
place
in
June
4th.
A
We
continue
to
discuss
the
budget
pressures
the
o-p-s
is
facing
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
both
for
2020
and
in
future
years.
All
financial
options
are
on
the
table
for
review
and
consideration.
The
service
has
been
working
very
hard
to
mitigate
the
covet
19
related
pressures
and
I
wish
to
commend
staff
for
everything.
They've
done.
There
has
been
significant
public
attention,
commentary
and
requests
for
changes
to
the
funding
of
the
police.
Well,
I
think
about
I
think
a
discussion
around
optimizing.
The
effectiveness
of
our
investments
in
Community
Safety
is
very
healthy.
A
We
need
to
have
these
discussions
in
a
matter
that
ensures
the
important
services
that
residents
required
to
feel
safe
can
still
be
delivered
as
a
board.
We
are
responsible
for
approving
a
budget
that
will
ensure
adequate
and
effective
policing.
Services
can
be
provided
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
To
echo
the
comments
previously
made
by
the
chief,
we
cannot
make
funding
decisions
out
of
retribution
or
from
a
place
of
fear,
grief
or
anger
which
is
currently
being
experienced
around
the
globe.
A
A
Typically,
a
budget
tabling
takes
place
in
early
November,
preceded
by
a
meeting
of
the
board's
finance
and
Audit
Committee,
where
delegates
are
welcome
to
present
on
the
budget.
The
budget
is
then
considered
by
the
board
at
the
November
monthly
meeting,
which
takes
place
the
fourth
Monday
of
the
month,
members
of
the
public,
looking
to
provide
input
into
the
2021
Ottawa
police
budget
are
therefore
encouraged
to
participate
in
our
public
consultation
in
the
fall.
A
A
So
we
thought
that
the
Argo
Police
Services
Board,
received
this
report
for
information.
Is
this
report
received
received?
Are
there
any
dissents?
Okay,
now
I'm
gonna,
move
on
to
inquiries?
I
have
three
inquiries.
I
would
like
to
raise
and
I'll
then
turn
it
over
to
other
board
members
in
case
they
should
have
any
a
chief
I
will
let
you
determine
whether
these
questions
can
be
answered
tonight
or
whether
you
will
need
to
report
back
at
a
future
meetings
of
the
board.
The
first
item
is
an
incident
involving
a
by
law
officer.
A
There
have
been
a
number
of
questions
and
concerns
raised
around
an
incident
that
took
place
in
April
when
Michelle
Heights,
Park,
involving
a
by
law
officer
and
a
member
of
the
public
for
the
benefit
of
the
board
and
the
community
and
without
getting
into
the
specifics
of
the
investigation.
I
have
a
few
follow-up
questions
for
you.
Chief
first,
can
you
provide
assurances
that
the
bylaw
officer,
who
was
the
subject
in
this
particular
investigation,
was
treated
as
any
other
member
of
the
public
would
be
in
a
similar
circumstance?
A
A
A
Okay,
the
next
inquiry
is
use
of
force
and
de-escalation.
In
recent,
in
the
recent
weeks,
the
use
of
force
by
police
has
been
highlighted.
I
came
across
the
chart
from
the
United
States.
It
breaks
down
the
amount,
training
time
for
police
dedicated
to
firearms
legislation
and
communications,
etc.
I
can
provide
the
high
level
bar
chart.
I
came
across.
If
you
would
like
to
see
it,
I
would
like
to
know
if
the
o-p-s
would
be
able
to
provide
at
a
future
date.
A
similar
breakdown
of
how
training
time
is
broken
down.
A
I
think
this
could
help
the
board
have
a
better
understanding
of
how
training
time
is
allocated.
It
may
help
us
determine
whether
we
are
investing
enough
time
in
critical
areas
such
as
communication,
de-escalation,
etc,
as
compared
to
firearms
and
defensive
tactics,
for
example,
and
then
my
third
inquiry
was,
with
respect
to
body
worn
cameras
for
public
we've
received.
A
A
number
of
the
board
has
received
a
number
of
emails
from
members
of
the
public,
demanding
that
body
worn
cameras,
the
Institute
for
all
police
officers,
I
think
it's
important
for
our
board
and
the
police
service
to
be
considering
any
and
all
available
options
for
effectively
improving
police
accountability
and
enhancing
trust.
Having
said
that,
options
will
vary
in
terms
of
effectiveness
and
return
on
return
on
investment
in
terms
of
body
cameras
specifically
I
recognize.
There
are
pros
and
cons
associated
with
the
technology.
A
The
board
and
the
service
would
need
to
undertake
significant
policy
work
prior
to
any
sort
of
roll
out
to
consider
aspects
such
as
privacy
and
data
governance.
They
would
also
require
a
significant
financial
investment
in
terms
of
the
technology
and
data
storage.
Chief.
To
what
extent
do
you
see
body
cameras
as
an
accountability
measure
that
we
should
be
exploring
going
forward,
and
they
know
you
have
done
research
on
body
cameras
and
have
closely
followed
their
success
and
failure
elsewhere
in
the
world
where
they
have
been
employed?
A
Should
we
be
actively
looking
into
investigating
this
technology
and
we'd
be
looking
forward
for
your
recommendations
now?
They
also
add
that
I
think
there
would
be
there
could
be
a
perception
based
on
what
people
see
in
the
United
States,
where
the
public
they
get
immediate
copies
of
Iraq's
to
the
body-cam
footage.
I
would
imagine
that,
given
the
systems
we
have
in
place
here,
that
simply
wouldn't
happen,
and
if
they
did
get
any
access
it
would
be
heavily
redacted.
So
those
are
the
inquiries.
I
have
and
I
notice.
A
D
You
thank
you
at
PNM,
a
small
word.
Yes,
I
have
an
inquiry
and
Thank
You
chief
as
a
chair
Smallwood
has
stated
you
can
make
you
can
answer
my
inquiry
now
or
later
as
deem
appropriate,
but
this
is
also
concerning
the
use
of
force,
a
chief
as
we
all
are
witnessing
that
police
brutality,
especially
on
the
black
and
indigenous
population,
at
local
and
national
levels,
and
I
understand
that,
as
for
the
use
of
force,
training
in
o-p-s
officers
are
not
taught
to
place
their
knee
or
any
other
on
any
other
body.
A
D
D
Chief
generally,
there
is
a
fear
in
the
minds
of
the
population
about
the
tactics
being
used
in
that
direction,
especially
in
the
minds
of
racialized
population
people
with
mental
people
with
language
barriers
and
I
emphasize
language
barriers.
The
recent
shooting
in
Mississauga
of
62
year
old
man,
mystery
jaar
zama,
is
one
such
life
and
recent
example.
D
So,
chief,
do
you
have
plans
to
revisit
the
user
for
techniques
at
o-p-s
in
the
coming
weeks,
and
how
do
you
plan
to
communicate
the
same
with
the
Ottawa
population
so
that
they
are
well
educated
and
aware
of
this
vital
component
and
I
will
be
thankful
if
I
can
have
some
definite
time
frame
of
action
being
initiated
and
implemented?
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
J
Thank
you
very
much
chairman
Airmen
I
will
just
quickly
run
through
the
list
as
I've
captured
it.
Hopefully,
I
haven't
made
any
mistakes
in
interpretation.
First
of
all,
in
regards
charity,
your
first
item
the
investigation
involving
mr.
petty
as
a
victim
that
is
an
ongoing
criminal
matter.
It
is
also
I
understand
an
ongoing
labor
matter
at
City
Hall,
so
I'm,
precluded
from
offering
any
comment
on
those
matters
until
they
are
resolved
fully.
J
I
will
make
a
commitment
that
that,
to
the
fullest
extent,
we
can
debrief
the
board
and
any
other
public
debriefing
from
our
involved
in
that
matter.
I'll
seek
counsel,
but
I
will
commit
to
being
as
complete
and
as
transparent
as
it
can
be.
What's
the
matters
are
resolved
and
the
second
item
you
raised
was
in
regards
to
use
of
force.
J
De-Escalation,
specifically,
if
you
don't
mind,
we'll
tie
that
to
member
Norman's
specific
questions
around
use
of
force
techniques,
we
are
already
conducting
a
review
of
what
we're
training
our
officers
on
I've
shared
some
of
that
information
with
the
board
and
we'll
commit
to
coming
back
to
the
board.
If
agenda
permits
at
the
next
board
meeting
where
superintendent
Patterson
CEO
Letourneau
and
our
PDC
training
staff
will
provide
a
full
review
of
the
current
state
and
any
potential
recommendations
or
changes
that
we
will
make
between
now
and
then
and
going
for
it.
J
That
is
a
regular
standing
item
for
board
agenda
items,
and
so
it
is
an
area
that
the
public
has
a
regular
updating
on,
but
given
recent
circumstances,
we
will
make
sure
that
we
make
available
to
the
board
the
opportunity
you
have
a
specific
agenda
item
on
that
or
a
specific
fulsome
response
to
the
related
inquiries.
Today,
in
regards
to
the
body
worn
camera,
a
significant
issue
that
requires
a
significant
response,
I,
don't
think
the
inquiry
portion
of
this
would
allow
me
to
be
fulsome
enough.
J
I'll
reference
it
very
briefly,
in
my
comments
later
on
to
the
board
again:
should
you
want
to
receive
a
public
session
full
review
and
what
we're
considering
absolutely
well
I
think
it
does
relate
to
a
number
of
the
previous
deputations.
It
will
be
the
same
context
of
my
comments.
There
is
a
potential
return
on
investment
for
that
type
of
exercise,
but
it
will
come
at
the
cost
of
something
else,
and
so
we'll
have
to
make
difficult
choices
around
how
to
produce
the
best
service,
as
well
as
the
highest
level
of
trust.
Member
nerman.
J
One
of
your
points,
I,
believe
in
your
use
of
force
inquiry
related
to
the
ability
of
officers
to
communicate
with
those
members
of
the
community,
for
whom
English
is
not
their
first
language
or
who
themselves
may
have
an
inability
to
understand
spoken
word.
This
is
an
ongoing
challenge
in
any
institution
to
provide
that
type
of
customized
level
of
communication,
particularly
in
crisis.
There
certainly
are
a
number
of
HR
practices
from
recruiting
and
hiring
members
who
speak
multiple
languages
to
the
use
of
technology
and
universal
interpreter
systems
that
are
capable
now
on
smart
devices.
J
Again
all
investments
that
need
to
be
made
there
are
no
quick
fixes
for
that,
and
any
investment
requires
a
choice.
I
agree
in
principle
with
what
you're
talking
about
the
practical
application
of
that
principle
will
always
be
a
bit
more
tricky
again
happy
to
come
back
to
the
board
in
the
combination
of
use
of
force,
training,
as
well
as
recruiting
and
hiring
and
talent
management.
I.
Think
substantially,
though
chair.
My
response
is
all
good
questions.
Some
require
the
completion
of
judicial
processes
and
labor
reviews
and
others
require
time
for
us
to
prepare
substantive
answers.
A
Thank
you
very
much
chief,
and
you
said
you
made
a
comment.
If
the
agenda
permits
and
I
can
show
you,
these
items
are
extremely
important,
so
the
there
will
be
the
certainly
we
will
make
time
on
the
agenda
to
to
have
a
public
airing
of
this.
These
discussions
I
mentioned
again
to
the
members
of
the
public.
The
only
questions
that
can
come
forward
at
this
point
are
people
who
are
registered
to
speak
or
members
of
the
board,
occasionally.
E
A
See
a
hand
pop
up
from
a
member
of
the
public,
but
unfortunately
the
this
is
not
a
no
concession
where
questions
can
come
from
the
floor
there.
You
do
have
the
ability
to
speak,
but
you
have
to
put
your
name
in
to
to
make
presentation.
I'll
now
go
to
other
board
members.
Are
there
any
inquiries
that
they
would
like
to
bring
forward
at
this
time?.
A
A
So
at
this
point,
we'll
go
to
items
of
business
and
the
first
item
of
business
is
the
Chiefs
verbal
report.
We'll
hold
this
until
we've
done
with
the
other
items,
the
consent
items
number
two
is
the
recommendations
for
addressing
systemic
racism,
discrimination
and
bias
and
creating
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
Ottawa,
Police
Service.
So
we're
going
to
hold
this
because
we
have
public
delegations
on
it.
So
we'll
move
to
item
number
three,
which
is
response
to
inquiry.
A
D
Yes,
four
would
I
have
a
brief
question
on
this:
one
I
just
about
education,
sure
Arby's,
so
thank
you.
Thank
You,
chief
and
Jeff,
corresponding
to
this
inquiry,
which
I
raised
in
the
month
of
Ethel
I,
have
just
a
brief
clarification.
If
Jeff
can
answer
that
in
paragraph
three,
you
have
stated
that
the
vital
is
then
shipped
to
auction
for
sale
and
the
check
with
the
bias
information
is
sent
back
to
the
OTS.
D
So
will
it
be
reasonable
to
say
that
once
this
vitals
once
a
year
decommissioned
they
go
for
an
auction,
they
can
be
bought
by
any
any
members
of
the
public
that
can
be
individuals
or
any
members,
because
in
your
last
line
it
says
that
no
point
or
any
o-p-s
fleet
related
items
sold
directly
to
the
public.
So
just
a
clarification
on
that.
C
Thank
you
mr.
chair,
so
paragraph
three,
mr.
Herman
paragraph
three
is
correct.
Vehicles
are
completely
stripped
and
sold
at
auction
that
can
be
sold
to
the
public.
The
the
last
point
in
the
in
the
statement
refers
to
o-p-s
specific
markings
or
specific
items
that
could
make
a
vehicle
look
like
a
place
for
you,
such
as
light
bars
or
decals.
A
A
You
that's
okay
with
you,
okay,
great!
Thank
you
very
much.
So
is
the
item
received?
You
see
any
dissent,
not
hearing
any
I'll
go
on
to
the
next
one
number
4,
which
is
response
to
a
query.
1
2006
community
outreach
to
prevent
gender-based
violence,
particularly
outreach
to
racialized
women.
We
will
hold
this
item
as
we
have
the
public
delegation
number
five
outstanding
boarding
by
recent
motions,
June
2020
executive
directors
report
that
the
other
was
Police
Services
Board
received
this
report
for
information.
A
Is
this
item
received
this
I
need
to
sense,
not
hearing
any
of
the
next
item
on
the
agenda.
Is
letters
of
commendation
that
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board,
received
this
report
for
information?
Is
they
received,
they
seemed
believed,
I
need
to
sense,
I'm,
not
hearing
any
I'll.
Now
return
to
items
number
one
two
and
four
so
item
number
one
is
the
all
the
way
back
up
to
the
Chiefs
verbal
report
chief
over
to
you.
J
Thank
You
chair,
merci,
beaucoup,
bonsoir
I,
will
admit.
Although
my
ranking
reports
are
a
bit
long,
this
one's
gonna
be
a
bit
longer.
There's
been
a
lot,
that's
transpired
since
the
last
board
meeting
first,
when
I
started
my
report
by
welcoming
the
newest
board
member,
miss
Bev
Johnson
arrived
at
a
very
pivotal
time
in
the
history
of
the
service.
J
The
city
in
the
country
welcome
to
the
deep
end
of
the
pool
that
said
your
career
as
a
doctor
and
your
lived
experience
as
a
successful
businesswoman,
a
great
source
of
insight
and
inspiration
for
the
board
and
the
service
on
several
critical
and
relevant
files.
Next
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
previous
depositions
made
and
I
want
to
commit
myself,
my
command
team
and
my
Police
Service
to
deeply
considering
discussing
and
learning
from
the
information
and
perspective
shared
by
the
depths,
the
time,
effort
and
courage
it
must
have
taken.
These
individuals
is
important
to
recognize.
J
Since
my
last
update
to
the
board
month
ago,
they're
in
a
series
of
tragedies
that
have
heard
in
Canada,
North,
America
and
around
the
world,
some
of
these
involve
members
of
the
black
communities,
along
with
members
of
our
indigenous
and
Aboriginal
communities.
I
have
deep
personal
and
professional
sadness
for
any
loss
of
life
in
any
circumstances,
for
any
inequity
or
injustice
in
any
circumstance,
and
for
all
who
suffer
directly
or
indirectly
in
such
tragedies
and
in
justices.
J
Over
the
same
time
period
we
have
seen
two
related
peaceful
marches
in
Ottawa,
where
people
from
all
backgrounds
and
all
parts
of
the
city
came
together
to
speak,
to
listen,
to
learn
and
to
commit
to
a
more
safe,
just
an
inclusive
city.
This
included
hundreds
of
Ottawa
police
service
members
and
their
families,
who
are
either
directly
participating
in
two
marches
or
directly
serving
and
protecting
all
of
those
who
are
participating
in
the
marches.
J
Organizations
and
institutions
are
made
up
of
imperfect
humans,
no
matter
how
well
intended
designed
or
implemented
the
systems
created
by
humans,
we're
also
by
design
and
perfect,
and
will
therefore
be
unintended.
They
will
therefore
have
unintended
systemic
impacts.
If
you
discover
a
rotten
apple,
you
have
to
heal
it
or
get
rid
of
it.
You
then
also
have
to
check
the
overall
health
of
the
tree
that
produced
it
from
the
deepest
roots,
which
is
the
organization's
culture
to
the
highest
branches,
its
oversight,
bodies,
Chiefs
command
officers
and
senior
management.
J
Too
often
we
smoke,
we
focus
on
the
rotten
apple
or
the
few
bad
apples
forget
about
the
tree
that
produced
it.
Since
the
day
that
I
was
sworn
in
as
Chief
of
Police
I
have
made
public
statements
about
the
growing
love
pride
that
I
have
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
inaudible
police
service
and
its
members.
My
love
and
pride
grows,
despite
the
events
at
an
exposed,
individual
corruption,
criminality
and
misconduct,
as
well
as
systemic
level,
issues
that
we
continue
to
face
in
this
organization.
J
J
Let
me
speak
more
specifically
about
policing
and
I,
remind
folks,
I'm
speaking
about
these
things
are
spoken
about
these
things
on
TED,
Talks,
op-eds,
media
interviews,
public
forums
and
board
meetings.
More
importantly,
I
spent
the
last
25
years
of
my
life
implementing
these
nine
years
in
policing,
despite
sometimes
heavy
resistance,
quite
often
a
lack
of
resources,
in
some
cases,
zero
losses
from
an
HR
standpoint.
We
are
still
not
representative
of
the
demographics
of
the
communities
that
we
serve
from
an
Operations
standpoint.
There's
still,
two
reactive
and
enforcement
focuses
from
a
financial
standpoint.
J
We
are
dealing
with
multiple
existential
generational
crises
right
now:
systemic
institutional,
societal,
racism,
workplace,
sexual
violence
and
harassment.
Climate
change
were
warming,
the
koban
19
pandemic,
and
it's
spin-off
economical
effects
that
it's
producing
a
massive
global
economic
crisis.
We
seem
to
have
forgotten
about
the
opioid
crisis.
There
has
been
a
recent
spike
in
the
ongoing
epidemic
of
fatal
drug
overdoses
across
Canada
and
right
here
in
the
nation's
capital.
J
You
these
crises,
to
implement
me
to
change
within
our
institutions
and
across
society.
We
need
police
in
society.
We
need
humane
police,
we
need
good
police.
We
need
good
and
healthy
people
in
all
of
our
communities.
We
need
safe
communities.
The
best
way
to
stop
a
bullet
or
a
pandemic
is
with
good
health,
education,
jobs,
affordable,
housing,
a
good
way,
a
good
way
to
stop
a
point
is
also
with
courageous,
compassionate
caring,
cops,
working
in
and
went
in
for
community.
J
We
must
change
the
operating
model
of
policing
from
being
simply
the
entry
point
into
the
criminal
justice
system
to
being
a
point
of
referral
to
a
wide
variety
of
integrated
non
criminal
streams,
many
of
which
are
far
better
positioned
to
solve
both
the
symptoms
and
the
underlying
issues
of
crime.
In
our
communities.
We
must
align
police
services
more
closely
with
other
core
human
services
and
human
service
institutions,
social
services,
education,
Public,
Health
and,
of
course,
the
not-for-profit
sector.
We
are
hearing
people
say
it's
time
for
change.
J
Maybe
those
people
are
right
here
with
inaudible
police
service.
Our
frontline
officers,
senior
NCOs
senior
officers
and
command
officers
want
the
same
thing:
change
for
good
needed
change.
I've
heard
these
similar
tragedies
over
the
course
of
my
three
decades
in
policing
and
I'm
in
the
last
half
decade
of
my
policing,
career
at
the
rank
of
chief
and
I'm
determined
to
implement
substantive
long-needed
changes
right
here
in
the
police
service
of
jurisdiction
in
the
nation's
capital.
That
is
why
I
applied
to
be
in
the
audible,
Police,
Service
chief
I,
believe.
J
That
is
why
the
auto
police
service
board
hired
me,
and
that
is
why
I'm
staying
right
here
to
get
the
job
done.
I
am
NOT
alone
in
this
work,
I'm
supported
by
a
growing
critical
mass
of
other
change,
enabling
leaders
inside
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
and
in
all
of
the
city's
many
diverse
communities.
All
these
leaders
know
that
this
is
not
the
time
for
incremental
change.
This
is
the
time
for
resisting
change.
J
That
is
why
this
work
will
always
be
challenging
and
must
be
focused
on
continuing
effort
and
improvement.
The
goal
cannot
be
for
perfection
and/or,
the
complete
eradication
of
these
human
failings,
as
it
is
impossible
to
achieve.
Instead,
the
goal
must
be
for
continuously
reducing
the
frequency
and
intensity
of
all
such
incidents
of
ignorance,
intolerance,
indifference
and
or
intentional
hurt,
as
well
as
to
continuously
improve
our
ability
to
review
redress
recover
and
be
restored
from
such
incidents
when
not
if
they
occur.
This
change
is
something
that
we
all
need
to
be
invested
in.
J
We
can
agree
to
disagree
on
the
nature,
pace
and
direction
of
the
change,
but
we
must
all
agree
that
change
is
needed,
so
we
can
better.
We
can
be
better
and
do
better
for
each
other,
the
trains,
the
change
need
not
be
transformative
or
overly
complicated.
It
is
as
simple
as
accepting
the
need
to
change
learning
from
others
about
the
types
of
changes
that
are
needed
and
then
taking
ownership
with
those
solutions.
J
The
simplest
and
most
critical
thing
that
we
need
to
do
is
to
make
a
true
personal
commitment,
an
organizational
commitment
to
treat
each
other
with
dignity,
respect
and
humanity
do
want
to
take
some
time
to
discuss
the
issue
of
B
funding
and
disbanding
police.
Since
the
tragic
death
of
mr.
George
George
Floyd
in
Minneapolis
has
created
a
whole
raft
of
social
media
posts
of
hashtags
well,
these
are
not
inconsequential
expressions
of
genuine
frustration.
J
They
are
not
sufficient
to
actually
produce
the
changes
in
policing
and
society
so
two
decades
and
in
fact,
centuries-old
issues
of
individual,
systemic
or
institutional
discrimination,
specifically
anti
black
racism,
anti
indigenous
racism,
defunding
and
disbanding
any
institution
is
a
complex
issue.
It
requires
careful
analysis
even
more
careful
planning,
implementation
and
evaluation
in
Canada
police
services
exist
because
of
legislation,
promote
three
levels
of
government,
federal
statutes,
provincial
police
service
acts
and
municipal
acts
and
funding.
J
Cutting
training
and
cutting
start
cutting
cost
from
policing
usually
result
in
a
few
things
and
Jerry.
You
rightfully
pointed
out
the
balance
of
budget
within
any
Police
Service.
Certainly
the
one
Police
Service
here
in
Ottawa
when
we
talk
about
deep
cuts,
we're
talking
about
cutting
bringing
that
will
actually
stop
the
reform
process
that
is
already
underway.
J
One
of
the
fundamental
responsibilities
of
the
federal
government
is
to
protect
the
nation
from
external
and
internal
threats
and
harm
the
national,
provincial,
regional
and
municipal
police
agencies
are
also
a
core
element
of
our
national
security
capability,
Harrington
etiquette.
It
addresses
specifically
issues
of
domestic
and
international
terror
operations,
multinational
transnational
criminal
organizations
and
the
investigations
into
the
cyber
crime
that
can
be
committed
literally
anywhere
in
the
world,
on
local
residents.
J
Critical
infrastructure
protection,
which
is
quite
prolific
here
in
the
nation's
capital,
as
well
as
responding
to
natural
and
human
disasters,
including
floods
and
tornadoes
that
have
occurred
here
in
a
regular
basis
in
Ottawa.
The
police,
therefore,
cannot
simply
be
defunded
or
disbanded
without
massive
impacts,
the
entire
justice
system,
our
national
security
systems
and
their
ability
to
be
resilient
against
mother
nature.
J
The
police
are
only
part
of
the
social
fabric
and
the
social
contract
in
any
democracy
like
Canada,
even
if
we
could
wave
a
magic
wand
and
fix
every
Police
Service
and
every
police
member
or
quite
frankly,
they
even
disband
policing.
You
would
still
have
to
reform
the
entire
justice
system,
along
with
all
other
public
and
private
institutions,
because
they
are
part
of
a
wider
range
of
societal
inequalities
and
in
justices
that
impact
and
enable
racism
or
any
form
of
individual
group
or
systemic
discrimination.
J
For
a
variety
of
legitimate
and
less
legitimate
reasons,
we
have
seen
the
defunding
and
disbanding
of
other
institutions
in
the
past,
for
example
in
the
1950s
and
60s.
We
saw
this
happen
to
the
psychiatric
hospitals
and
mental
mental
institutions
without
commensurate
plans
to
make
investments
and
prepare
communities
for
the
outflow
of
these
patients
without
sustainable
financial
investments
into
institutions
like
policing,
the
community
and
not-for-profit
agencies.
This
resulted,
quite
frankly
in
a
disaster.
J
This
example
of
defunding
disbanding
of
institutions
was
ill-conceived,
poorly
implemented,
badly
funded
and
have
led
to
many
of
the
problems
that
we
now
see
today.
Khaleesi
I,
like
the
deputy,
who
talked
about
reimagining
rican
sieving
of
policing,
I,
truly
believe
in
this
police,
must
focus
police,
unfortunately,
focus
first
and
most
unreactive
law
enforcement
versus
proactive
prevention
and
interventions.
This
operating
model
is
the
most
costly
in
terms
of
finances
and
social
costs.
Sometimes
those
social
costs
include
the
loss
of
life,
the
tragic
loss
of
life.
J
They
are
the
least
effective
way
of
providing
public
safety,
community
safety
and
well-being.
We
have
learned
from
past
failures
like
the
war
on
drugs,
and
we
have
recent
examples
of
more
effective
health,
focused
approaches
like
the
approach
to
our
national
opioid
crisis,
and
indeed
our
ongoing
approach
to
the
köppen
19
pandemic.
J
We
can
reimagine
and
realign
policing
gleason
under
the
new
legislation
in
the
Police
Service
Act
of
Ontario,
that
requires
every
municipal
every
missile
government
to
in
and
implement
and
evaluate
a
community
state
in
well-being
plan
that
brings
together
the
police,
education,
health,
social
services,
the
not-for-profit
sector,
representatives
of
our
demographic
communities,
locally
to
implement
an
integrated
service
delivery
model
that
better
serves
the
human
needs
from
birth
to
death.
That
seeks
first
to
do
no
harm
that
operates
under
a
public
health
education
model
and
operated
mainly
in
the
pre
criminal
space.
J
We
also
have
to
break
down
the
silos
between
our
different
institutions,
between
police
courts
and
corrections
between
the
justice
system,
social
services,
health
and
education.
We
have
a
new
Police
Service
Act
in
Ontario
that
legally
required
us
to
do
these
things.
We
have
excellent
civil
servants
like
Tony,
Demonte,
who's,
leading
the
work
here
in
the
nation's
capital.
This
is
a
game-changing
opportunity
to
make
true
investments
for
true
change.
J
We
need
to
reform
and
reinvest
the
majority
of
police
majority
people
in
the
justice
system
are
there
not
for
crimes
for
mental
health
and
addictions.
We
don't
have
a
policing
and
justice
system.
In
fact
we
have
a
public
health
and
addictions
problem.
If
we
did
this
right,
we
could
save
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
every
province.
We
could
save
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
across
this
country
misspent
dollars
in
the
justice
system.
J
That
could
be
reinvested
in
some
way
across
the
human
services
systems
and
into
the
not-for-profit
sector,
but
we
first
need
to
do
the
work,
planning,
implementing
and
evaluating,
evaluating
and
sustaining
before
we
can
move
to
that
level.
Scotland
has
one
of
the
best
and
most
well
developed.
Such
systems
well
documented
well,
researched,
I'm,
gonna
quote
from
Megan
O'neill
who's.
An
expert
on
community
policing
at
the
University
of
Dundee
in
Scotland
police
forces
need
to
take
a
more
integrated
approach
and
how
they
serve
their
communities.
J
She
said
that
in
most
European
countries,
policing
in
isn't
views
primarily.
Is
it
viewed
primarily
from
a
top-down
law
enforcement
perspective,
but
rather
as
part
of
the
bigger
solution
to
social
problems?
It's
not
there's
a
problem.
Send
the
police,
it's
there's
a
problem.
Let's
work
together
to
find
the
right
solution
and
services,
she
said:
policing
is
seen
as
a
small
part
of
a
bigger
set
of
actors
in
terms
of
addressing
social
issues
or
Anil
said
advocates.
Shouldn't
underestimate
the
cost.
What's
missing
from
the
current
discussions?
J
J
J
We
have
done
a
significant
investment
in
our
member
well-being
in
health,
a
priority
of
the
board.
This
includes
our
ongoing
work
around
workplace,
sexual
violence
and
harassment.
This
week
we
will
be
expanding
our
efforts
in
that
area
with
our
internal
advisory
group
and
our
external
advisory
group
I
want
a
complement
and
and
thank
Acting
Deputy
Chief
John
McKenna
and
her
core
team
who
have
been
working
hard
chair
with
yourself,
Christopher,
our
oh
they'll,
get
nerman
and
the
board
in
this
very
important
joint
initiative.
J
The
modernization
of
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
is
another
priority
imposed
by
the
border.
We
continue
to
advance
our
reorganization
of
the
orderly
service,
we're
building
out
the
respect,
values
and
inclusion.
Directorate,
while
preparing
for
the
next
phase
of
work,
which
will
be
announced
at
the
July
board,
meeting
we're
in
the
process
of
completing
the
hiring
and
onboarding
of
a
chief
financial
officer,
the
procurement,
sorry,
the
hiring
of
a
new
chief
information
officer
and
an
equity
diversity.
J
Inclusion,
specialist
I
want
to
advise
the
board
that
we
have
significantly
increased
level
of
external
applications
from
members
across
this
country.
Community
members
who
want
to
join
the
audible,
Police
Service,
who
want
to
be
part
of
the
mission
of
change
and
we're
bringing
their
skills
and
passions
to
bear
on
policing
in
this
city
and,
last
but
not
least,
the
board's
priority
of
investing
in
neighborhood
policing,
specifically
community
policing
advancement
in
May
2020.
We
kept
our
promise
credit
to
Chief
Deputy
Chief.
J
We
deployed
another
neighborhood
resource
team.
This
one
in
the
body
would
Market
Center
Town
neighborhood
on
June
5th
2020,
a
member
of
the
public
alerted
one
of
our
new
and
our
team
members
to
an
incident
where
a
man
was
seen
brandishing
a
firearm
firearm
on
Rito
Street,
the
nrt
officer
and
other
uniformed
frontline
officers
responded
immediately
to
be
in
school.
The
apprehended,
the
suspect
he's
the
fully
loaded
fine
gun
in
the
same
leak.
J
In
the
same
week,
another
member
of
the
of
the
NRT
possible
james
irving
attended
a
call
for
a
man
with
severe
mental
health
issues
outside
of
one
bar
downtown
show.
The
bullying
letter
was
sent
to
me
about
this.
Man
is
known
to
be
extremely
volatile
and
violent
and
his
banned
from
all
the
shelters
he
was
covered
in
his
own
feces
constable
Erving
approached
the
shelter
and
asked
if
they
could
make
an
exception
long
enough
to
allow
the
man
to
have
a
shower
the
shelter
agreed
the
whole
time.
J
Your
officers
stayed
closed,
allowing
the
staff
to
do
their
jobs,
but
but
ensuring
they
were
safe.
Your
officers
could
have
easily
turned
a
blind
eye,
requested
transport
for
him
or
told
him
simply
to
move
on,
but
they
didn't.
Instead,
they
took
action
to
allow
him
to
gain
back
some
level
of
dignity.
I
watched
your
officers
show
extreme
patience
and
patience
and
compassion
towards
us
man
and
unfortunately,
there
was
no
one
around
to
watch
their
actions
without
their
phones
to
video.
It
I
want
you
to
know
that
your
officers
actions
today
was
human
and
inspiring.
J
Now
I
note,
there
are
a
number
of
other
letters
of
recognition
and
appreciation
in
agenda
item
number
six
on
this
board
that
represent,
but
a
small
sample,
the
professional
ethical
compassionate
service
provided
by
auto
police
service
members
over
the
past
month.
The
current
crises
opioids
covin,
19
systemic
racism.
They
must
all
be
views,
viewed
at
this
time
as
an
opportunity
to
reinvent
policing
and
all
other
democratic
institutions.
These
crises
have
pushed
Police
Services
into
considering
and
implementing
changes
that
have
long
been
advocated
for
and
very
much
needed.
J
This
is
an
opportunity
not
to
return
to
normal,
but
to
think
and
rethink
practices
and
policing
to
create
a
better
than
a
truly
new
normal,
where
all
members
of
society
are
treated
equally
equitably,
an
inclusive
and
humane
and
compassionate
manner.
We're
all
members
of
police
services
see
themselves
as
a
part
of
community
delivering
absolutely
vital
and
needed
core
services
to
every
member.
The
community,
where
they
feel
respected,
for
what
they
do
every
day,
difficult
dynamic
circumstances.
Thank
you
very
much.
Merci
beaucoup.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Chief
I
think
you've
covered
a
lot
of
topics
and
I
think
for
especially
for
remember,
Durban
and
remember
man,
the
recall
back
to
a
time
when
the
board
identified
that
change
was
happening
and
that
change
was
needed
and
we
we
made
the
decision
to
go
right
across
the
country
to
identify
someone
who
we
felt
could
best
manage
and
bring
that
change
to
the
o-p-s.
And
that's
why
we
selected
you
and
I
think
your
actions.
A
The
data
have
rewarded
us
and-
and
you
certainly
have
identified
the
board
priorities
that
you've
launched
into
and
just
how
difficult
it
is
to
bring
this
much
change
in
in
a
relatively
short
period
of
time
as
you're
as
you're
doing
but
I
think
you
know
and
I'll
repeat
it.
You
certainly
have
you
and
your
team
certainly
have
the
support
of
the
board
and
the
actions
that
you're
taking
I
specifically
want
to
highlight
a
comment.
A
You
mate,
you
mentioned
at
13,
1636
new
applications
and
that
there
was
a
46%
increased
in
women
applying
and
the
board
identified
some
time
ago
that
we
had
issues
that
there
were
issues
with
respect
to
getting
a
service
that
reflected
the
citizens
that
had
served
and
representing
the
City
of
Ottawa.
And
so
we
had-
and
we
worked
very
closely
with
with
the
o-p-s
staff,
to
identify
where
there
were
barriers
and
what
could
be
done
to
knock
those
barriers
down
and
I.
A
Think
that
I'm
personally
very
very
happy
to
see
these
numbers
coming
in
now,
because
often
you
get
a
sense
that
that
you're
trying
to
make
change
happen,
but
it
just
doesn't
seem
to
be
happening.
And
what
what
you've
brought
to
us
today
is
is
dramatic
evidence
of
those
meetings
we
had
and
the
outcome
of
those
meetings
working
with
the
staff
to
identify
and
to
knock
down
barriers.
And,
of
course,
we
as
a
board
know
that
that
it's
not
just
good
enough-
and
you
certainly
are
I've
raised
this
point
many
times.
A
It's
not
just
good
enough
to
bring
new
members
in.
It's
not
just
good
enough
to
bring
diversity
and
we
have
to
have
a
welcoming
environment
to
retain
them,
and
that
is
a
work
in
progress
and
it's
something
the
board
acknowledges
and
we're
certainly
there
to
make
sure
that
that's
that's
what
happens.
Next
is
not
only
if
we
brought
these
new
people
in
who
are
the
future
of
our
service,
well,
providing
a
welcoming
and
good
environment
that
they
can
flourish
in,
and
so
I
really
I
want
to.
A
Thank
you,
and
also
I,
should
mention
with
respect
to
the
hiring
I
know
that
a
lot
of
this
has
happened.
The
recruitment
team
has
been
going
out
on
on
weekends
and
in
the
evenings
to
find
with
meet
up
with
communities
and
working
with
social
media
and
making
sure
that
I
know
I,
see
Sargent
Maria
keen
on
social
media
all
the
time.
J
A
J
A
D
Thank
You
chair
and
thanks
chief
for
as
always
a
very
comprehensive
round
of
the
information
and
I
will
say
a
mini
encyclopedia,
just
a
brief
thing.
We
have
received
so
many
applications
and
about
more
than
45
to
60
percent
as
a
diverse
communities
we
are
who
are
applying
very
encouraging
and
thanks
to
you
and
the
entire
hiring
team,
but
I
I
recall
there
was
a
brief
pause
on
that.
Will
that
be
affecting
these
applications
also-
or
this
is
not
a
part
of
that.
J
Thank
You
member
Nariman
I'll
call
on
CEO
Letourneau
to
add
additional
comments.
Of
course,
any
delay
in
recruiting
and
hiring
process,
regardless
of
whether
it's
policing
but
in
any
institution
organization,
private
or
public
sector,
puts
a
risk.
The
type
of
people
were
trying
to
attract
the
quality
of
their
education.
The
depth
of
their
lived
experience,
the
diversity
that
they
bring
in
their
own
persona,
their
experience
and
volunteerism
previous
work
experience,
often
in
the
private
sector,
sometimes
in
our
military.
In
other
related
services,
corrections
by
law,
social
services.
J
We
need
to
be
able
to
maintain
momentum
around
recruiting
and
hiring
in
the
organization.
We
need
to
be
able
to
maintain
that
momentum
by
demonstrating
the
willingness
and
the
ability
to
implement
change,
but
to
also
bring
in
fresh
new
perspectives
were
very
briefly
to
the
CEO.
But
there
was
a
recent
article
in
CBC
where
a
young
black
man
was
quoted,
and
he
was
asked
very
specifically.
Why
would
you
want
to
join
policing,
particularly
the
Ottawa
Police
Service,
given?
J
What's
happened
recently
in
the
city
and
around
the
world,
and
his
answer
was
very
clear:
it's
the
same
reason
why,
if
I
have
stayed
in
placing
my
three
decades,
because
he
wants
to
make
a
change
because
he
believes
he
can
make
a
change
because
he
sees
the
need
for
change.
He
wants
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
not
just
somebody
who
complains
about
the
problem
and
I
believe
the
vast
majority,
the
people
who
applied
to
be
a
member
of
this
Police
Service
and
the
vast
majority.
J
C
J
Thank
you,
member
Goodman,
I
I
will
guarantee
no
matter
what
the
size
of
the
envelope
no
matter
what
the
conditions
we
face.
You
have
a
legislative
responsibility
to
continue
to
hire
so
that
we
can
be
as
reflective
as
possible,
but
the
demographics
of
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
the
values
of
the
people,
a
lot
of
look,
regardless
of
the
circumstances
we're
committed
to
that
legislative
responsibility.
J
B
I
do
thank
you
very
much.
I
can
share
chief
slowly.
One
of
the
frustrations
that
many
people
have
talking
about
members
of
the
public
and
and
with
the
police
service
and
with
the
police
board,
is
the
fact
that
police
officers
who
are
accused
of
wrongdoing
are
suspended
with
pay,
and
we
do
not
have
the
ability
to
change
that
that
lies
with
the
province.
B
The
Premier
of
Ontario
was
asked
today
about
this
and
what
it
would
take
in
order
to
to
take
a
look
at
changing
some
of
the
legislation
to
permit
police
forces
police
services
to
suspend
officers
without
pay.
That
premier
said
he
would
be
willing
to
sit
down
with
Chiefs
of
Police.
Who
he
admits
are
the
experts
in
this
and
discuss
it?
Would
you
be
willing
to
sit
down
with
the
premier
to
discuss
this,
and
do
you
think
it's
a
good
idea.
J
Thank
you.
First
of
all
and
I
can
tell
you
that
the
police
cheeps
in
Ontario
had
that
conversation
going
back
for
decades
and
going
back
several
different
governments
regardless
is
a
political
stripe.
That
is
an
ongoing
challenge
in
policing,
and
so
the
short
answer
is
yes.
I
am
a
member
of
the
Ottawa
Ontario
Association
of
Chiefs
of
Police
I
have
been
in
regular
contact
with
chief
called
Patterson
who's.
J
The
current
president,
as
well
as
a
staff
of
the
OACP,
and
there
have
been
a
number
of
discussions
around
increasing
police
accountability,
transparency,
efficiency,
effectiveness,
and
this
is
one
of
those
discussions
that
has
been
an
ongoing
dialogue.
I
am
not
surprised
that
the
premier
has
made
that
statement.
J
My
command
team
and
I
are
already
applying
the
fullest
sent
us
a
sense
of
coaching
development,
training
and
yes,
discipline,
mediation,
intervention,
restoration,
rehabilitation
in
order
to
change,
thinking,
change
decisions,
change,
behavior,
even
me,
even
before
we
need
to
come
to
a
decision
around
whether
or
not
to
suspend
or
separate
an
officer
from
the
organization.
So
that
is
my
commitment
that,
as
a
services
commitment
so
continues.
You
advance
for
progressive
legislation,
regardless
of
progressive
legislation,
to
continue
to
advance
for
progressive
process
across
all
of
our
HR
systems.
J
J
J
A
good
question:
I,
don't
have
the
exact
numbers
in
front
of
me
and,
more
importantly,
than
the
exact
numbers
I
think
it
would
be
important
to
provide
the
board
and
there's
where
the
members
of
the
public
with
context
see
whether
or
not
the
circumstances
here
in
Ottawa
are
a
better
worse
or
on
average.
Irrespective
of
where
we
are
in
terms
of
benchmarking.
J
As
I
said
earlier
on,
our
goal
is
to
continuously
improve
we're,
never
going
to
be
able
to
eliminate
the
problems
that
come
with
human
condition,
nor
as
an
organization
at
the
size
and
complexity
that
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
create
perfect
systems
to
prevent
any
act
of
misconduct
or
any
act
of
misconduct
of
criminality.
That
could
be
on
scale
when
we
need
to
suspend
officers
or
terminate
officers.
But
we
are
focused
on
trying
to
continuously
improve.
So
if
it's
an
inquiry
that
you're
putting
forward
I
can
commit
to
coming
back
to
the
board.
A
You
very
much
Caroline
and
Carolyn
I
think
that,
following
up
in
the
Chiefs
comment,
I
will
take
it
that
this
is
an
inquiry
from
you,
so
that
we
can
expect
a
more
fulsome
answer
from
the
chief
going
forward
and
I
I
think
it
is
important.
You
raised
a
really
important
issue
and
I
appreciate
all
of
the
Chiefs
background
on
it,
but
for
members
of
the
public,
this
is
that
grain
of
sand
that's
caught
in
their
sandal,
that
it
won't
go
away
and
we
really
need
to.
A
C
Thank
You
chief,
just
there
just
a
quick
comment.
Remember
Norman
asked
a
question
that
concerns
me
as
well
with
regards
to
the
pause,
and
you
answered
it
very
well
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
uplifting
and
very
positive
message
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
making
your
messages
come
to
reality,
because
I
think
what
you're
saying
is
really
touching
a
lot
of
people
in
the
right
way
and
and
now
it's
more
of
just
making
sure
that
these
things
come
to
come
to
fruition.
So
thank
you
again.
Thank.
A
A
A
D
A
D
Okay,
so
thank
you.
Thank
you,
I
think
here,
Smallwood
before
I
read
this
motion.
I
would
like
to
address
the
board
and
other
service,
and
members
do
I
have
a
permission
to
go
ahead.
Yes,
you
do.
Thank
you.
I
think
here,
Smallwood
fellow
board,
members
chief
slowly,
all
members
of
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
and
members
of
the
public
I
want
to
thank
you
again
for
giving
this
important
issue
your
time
and
attention
today.
Over
the
last
month,
I
have
received
a
great
deal
of
feedback
on
this
motion.
D
I
brought
forward
for
discussion
and
I
would
like
to
thank
all
of
my
board
colleagues
and
the
many
other
individuals
councillors,
members
of
the
o-p-s,
my
former
professors,
community
leaders
and
Ottawa
residents
for
their
contributions.
It
strengthens
my
resolve
to
see
so
many
from
every
walk
of
life
join
with
me
in
this.
D
You
will
note
that
I
have
added
50
recommendation
to
the
motion
that
is
designed
to
formally
link
the
efforts
of
the
board
and
the
Ottawa
police
service,
with
the
city's
anti-racism
Secretariat
and
the
new
role
given
to
council
arousal
King
as
the
license
for
anti
racism
and
ethnic
cultural
relations.
I
believe
that
this
strengthens
the
entire
motion
and
ensure
that
the
o-p-s
considers
the
leading
anti
racism
practices
identified
by
the
Secretariat,
while
at
the
same
time
reducing
any
duplication
of
efforts.
I
thank
our
King
for
his
support
and
willing
to
work
on
this
important
issue.
D
Is
the
service
and
the
board
I'm
also
messy
very
alive
to
the
frustration,
anger
and
sadness
in
our
community
right
now,
around
racism
and
policing
and
I
know
that
for
very
real
and
valid
reasons
that
those
emotions
are
being
felt
very
strongly
in
the
black
and
indigenous
communities.
I
strongly
believe
that
racism
and
hate
that
impacts
any
community
impacts
every
community.
D
The
language
of
the
motion
is
therefore
meant
to
embody.
The
sincere
its
sense
of
equity
and
inclusion
we
are
equity
for
all
is
what
we
are
striving
to
achieve,
understanding
that
no
one
is
truly
free.
No
one
is
truly
able
to
achieve
their
full
potential
with
sense
of
respect
and
dignity
for
who
they
are,
unless
their
neighbours
are
free
to
do
as
well.
D
I
believe
that
this
issue
needs
to
be
addressed
as
a
whole,
no
matter
how
uncomfortable
it
may
be
for
us
as
individuals
as
all
as
an
organization,
in
the
words
of
our
prime
minister,
the
right
honourable
Justin,
Trudeau
and
I
quote.
Systemic
racism
is
real
unconscious
bias
is
real
and
they
happen
here
in
Canada.
I
also
want
to
thank
and
acknowledge
mayor
Watson
for
his
leadership
in
advancing
anti
racism
efforts
across
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
by
extension,
to
Ottawa
Police
Service,
how
he
he
and
the
entire
City
Council
have
acted
to
address.
D
This
issue
will
reflect
well
in
their
legacy
of
service
to
the
city
and
all
of
his
residence.
We
now
need
to
work
on
building
this
and
strengthening
our
trust
among
the
membership
and
communities
we
are
serving.
There
is
so
much
pain
and
distress
to
overcome,
and
how
do
we
build
accountability
into
the
system
so
that
we
can
have
confidence
that
the
right
things
are
being
done
for
the
right
reasons?
D
The
events
here
in
Ottawa
and
around
the
world
in
the
last
few
weeks
continue
to
demonstrate
that
meet
for
reelection
to
come
back
racism,
but
also
the
largest
urgency
to
acknowledge
this
motion
announces
through
our
CP
that
the
Armagh
Police
Service
recognizes
that
we
are
not
perfect,
but
that
we
are
working
to
make
ourselves
a
better
organization
than
we
were
yesterday.
It
makes
it
that
we
will
never
stop
striving
to
be
better
for
all
of
the
citizens
of
Ottawa.
D
We
are
asked
since
the
introduction
of
the
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
action
plan
chief
slowly
and
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
have
taken
the
first
step
on
creating
the
direct
rate
of
respect
values
and
inclusion,
led
by
a
super
pendant
to
strengthen
the
ability
of
the
service
to
advance
the
2020
goals
and
organizational
culture.
More
broadly,
in
partnership
with
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board,
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
has
launched
a
special
committee
to
address
sexual
violence
and
harassment
in
the
workplace
and
VRS.
D
So
the
first
recommendation
is
the
efforts
of
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
to
address
this
culture
and
spectral
inequality.
It
should
be
a
whole
of
organization
initiative
that
is
inclusive
of
all
members,
both
women
and
men,
black
indigenous
and
LGBTQ,
civilian
and
so
on
and
further.
The
approach
to
this
work
must
demonstrate
an
understanding
and
appreciation
of
the
unique
contribution
that
every
member
makes
in
support
of
a
safe,
healthy
and
inclusive
City
of
Ottawa,
and
they
are
equally
critical
roles
in
creating
a
more
equitable
resilence
culture
within
the
Ottawa
Police
Service.
D
D
Third
ask
the
new
respects,
value
and
inclusion
Directorate
at
incidents
of
discrimination
and
bias
within
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
that
are
not
currently
accounted
for
through
a
formal
complaint
systems,
a
system
to
identified,
track
and
report
on
these
incidents.
Should
we
dwell
or
comprehensively
heightened
in
partnership
with
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board,
community
heat
equity,
council
and
other
key
stakeholders
with
results
being
reported
to
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board,
through
regular
updates
on
the
EDI
action
plan.
D
The
policy
should
also
be
evaluated
to
ensure
that
the
systems
and
supports
are
in
place
or
involve
a
native
strengthen
for
members
and
supervisors
to
identify
report
and
intervene
in
a
timely
and
effective
manner
with
incidents
are
concerned.
And
my
final
and
the
fifth
recommendation
is
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
establish
a
partnership
with
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
PVCs
and
Secretariat
to
ensure
that
it
considers
leading
practices
to
address
racism,
reduces
reduces
duplication
of
efforts
and
drugs,
an
inventory
of
approaches
that
can
be
utilized
across
all
city
departments
and
program.
A
You
very
much
for
an
urban
I
think.
As
we
all
know
this,
this
topic
is
so
important,
so
timely
and
your
emotion
is
right
on
the
mark
in
terms
of
what
the
chief
is
is
is
doing
and
trying
to
do,
and
it
shows
how
much
the
board
is
supportive
of
his
activities
and
just
how
this
the
public
generally
is
seized
with
the
importance
of
this
issue
and
the
importance
to
bring
this
change
to
the
service
and
indeed
to
the
wider
city.
E
You
acting
chair,
Smallwood
I,
really
do
appreciate,
taking
the
time
to
be
before
you
today
to
to
speak
to
this
motion,
because
too
many
people
in
Ottawa
experience
high
levels
of
racism
and
injustice,
and
it
is
very
important
that
we
take
continued
steps
to
ensure
that
the
human
rights
and
dignity
of
all
people
are
protected.
Therefore,
I
am
completely
supportive
of
member
Nair
man's
motion
to
address
systemic
racism,
discrimination
and
bias
in
order
to
create
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
Ottawa
Police
Service.
E
His
motion
calls
for
the
redesign
and
of
long-standing
structures
and
systems
that
exist
within
the
o-p-s
to
ensure
that
they
are
more
equitable
and
inclusive.
I
think
that
we
all
must
stand
in
solidarity
and
recognize
that
we
all
have
a
role
to
play
in
addressing
and
eliminating
racism
and
humanizing.
E
Systemic
racism
is
ultimately
the
collective
failure
of
an
organization
to
provide
an
appropriate
and
professional
service
to
people
because
of
the
color
of
their
skin
culture
or
ethnic
origin,
and
we're
seeing
a
people
pushing
back
because
they
are
being
impacted
by
systemic
racism.
This
is
definitely
a
consequential
moment
in
our
history,
as
people
ask
for
meaningful
transformation
of
their
Police.
Service
is
meaningful
reform
of
the
police
services
and
basically
real
input
into
that
process.
E
That
will
allow
people
to
provide
input,
but
people
definitely
want
to
see
meaningful
change,
and
we
know
that,
while
that
might
not
be
applicable
in
terms
of
financing
mechanisms
and
legislative
change,
as
as
the
chief
laid
out
in
in
his
verbal
update,
we
know
that
that
can
be
achieved
through
investment
in
public
services.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
I
circulated
a
quite
extensive
letter.
E
That
would
really
ensure
that
we
are
not
dependent
on
traditional
policing
models,
a
enforcement,
but
that
we
are
meaningfully
investing
in
communities
meaningfully
meaningfully
investing
in
our
youth
through
potentially
a
youth
strategy
meaningfully
investing
in
our
communities
through
an
expanded
building,
better
vitalized
neighborhood
program
that
is
more
permanent
and
is
applicable
to
more
areas
of
the
city.
It's
absolutely
important,
as
the
chief
had
noted
in
his
verbal
statement,
that
we
look
at
more
progressive
policing
models
like
the
Glasgow
model.
E
The
Scottish
Marlatt
like
he
was
talking
about
where
communities
work,
hand
in
hand
with
economic
development,
employment
opportunities,
ensuring
that
there's
proper
investments
in
youth
programming
across
the
board,
and
so
what
I
think
people
are
saying
is
that
they
want
to
see
more
equity.
They
want
to
see
us
fight,
systemic
racism
through
investments
and
that
we
need
to
find
comprehensive
and
a
comprar
take
a
comprehensive
approach
to
that
to
ensure
real,
meaningful
change
that
happens
in
a
more
quick
way,
so
I
want
to
say
that
I
do
support
this
motion.
E
I
do
support
the
view
that
we
must
address
systemic
racism
and
that
that
should
not
just
be
contained,
obviously
to
o-p-s
operations,
but
it
must
also
involve
wider
investments
and
a
call
for
wider
investments
from
all
of
us
from
our
senior
levels
of
government,
so
that
we
see
meaningful
investments
in
communities
so
that
they
are
able
to
have
greater
quality
of
life.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
councillor,
King
I,
really
appreciate
your
comments
and
I.
Think
that
there's
a
there
is
a
path
forward
that
is
going
to
see
a
partnership
with
the
year.
The
entry,
races
and
Secretariat
which
you
had
and
the
o
PS
and
the
o
PS
B
and
I
think
that
the
strength
of
the
organisation's
coming
together
at
this
time,
I
can
bring
about
meaningful
change.
Would
also
note
that
you
mentioned
about
the
Glasgow
model
which
actually
came
to
Canada.
It's
the
hub
model
and
the
it's
certainly
worth
listening
to
Karen
McCluskey.
D
A
F
Have
a
brief
comment,
and
really
it's
just
to
thank
member
nerman
and
council,
their
King
for
their
work
in
this
very
important
area,
and
all
that
they're
doing
and
I
guess:
I
have
a
question
as
well,
and
this
may
be
for
Chief.
Slowly
is
you
know
how
Howard
is
the
Otto
of
Police
Services
officers
and
members
educated
on
this
important
issue
of
implicit
bias
and
racism.
J
A
J
Let
you
answer
this.
One
first
appreciate
the
question
again:
I
think
it'd
be
I,
wouldn't
want
to
encourage
you
to
make
it
into
an
inquiry,
but
they
could
be
worthwhile
for
the
board
and
through
the
board,
the
public
to
understand
the
full
level
of
training
that
we
do.
There
is
an
inquiry
around
use
of
force
training,
and
it
might
be
worth
couple
that,
with
what
training
we
do
around
anti-racism
ante
managing
personal
biases,
because
they
are
sort
of
a
hand
in
glove
exercise.
J
I
can
tell
you
that
the
audible
police
service
in
its
history
has
proven
to
be
one
of
the
most
progressive
and
effective,
using
training
and
attempting
training
that
hasn't
been
done
either
at
all
or
on
scale.
There
are
some
variation
of
the
size
I
recently
requested
from
superintendent
Patterson
a
full
list
of
the
most
recent
training
over
the
last
decade.
J
Quite
frankly,
I
shouldn't
say
there
was
a
I
was
amazed,
but
it
certainly
validated
my
sense
that
literally
every
year
for
the
past
seven
to
ten
years,
there
has
been
a
new
training
horse,
in
addition
to
existing
training
that
we've
applied
to
our
frontline
officers,
and
certainly
in
the
last
month,
we've
gone
looking
internationally
for
best
practices
around
training
that
relates
specifically
to
the
area
that
you're
talking
about
that
councillor.
King
has
been
talking
about
a
number
Germans
motion
speaks
to,
so
it
is
an
ongoing
investment.
J
I
will
say,
though,
that
training
and
of
itself
has
proven
to
be
relatively
effective,
but
not
substantially
effective
to
address
the
type
of
individual
thinking,
decision-making,
behavior
change
and
equally,
maybe
want
or
any
systemic
types
of
issues
that
we've
been
talking
about
it.
So
while
it's
an
important
area
of
exploration
and
investment
in
of
itself,
it
is
not
substantial
enough
to
address
the
type
of
change,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
provide
more
information
later
on,
but
hopefully
that
answers
your
question.
It
does
thank.
A
J
Just
a
quick
comment:
first,
remember
nerman.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
articulate
and
passionate
motion,
and
you
have
my
full
commitment
and
not
just
to
the
letter
but
more
important
to
the
spirit
of
what
you've
put
before
us
and
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
and
the
board
and
community
stakeholders
and
bringing
that
to
life.
Much
of
that
work
is
already
underway
in
some
cases
substantially
underway.
J
D
A
comment,
thank
you
chief.
In
fact,
it
your
support
and
your
words
means
a
lot,
because
this
is
a
real
motivation.
The
real
doer
I
will
say
is
you?
Is
you
and
the
entire
OTS
force?
We
are
just
giving
one
of
the
direction
so
I
honestly
look
forward
to
be
working
with
you
on
this
sensitive
topic,
which
is
very
close
to
my
heart
and
I.
Look
forward
to
be
working
with
you
more
closely
in
the
in
the
coming
days
and
weeks,
Thank
You.
A
A
E
E
I
I
do
appreciate
the
work
that
the
chief
is
doing
and
also
the
conversations
that
we
had,
especially
around
a
unified
funding
request
by
Council
and
by
others
across
our
community,
to
the
federal
government
to
support
social
service
funding
for
the
city,
which
would
look
at
enhanced
enhanced
use
strategy,
ideally
bolstering
funding
for
social
programming
directed
to
community
resource
centers
and
marginalized
neighborhoods
or
community,
a
prevention,
crime,
prevention,
programming
and
additional
investments
in
after-school
programs.
So
what.
E
In
that
letter,
that
I
provided
to
the
board
was
really
a
blueprint.
A
starting
point
I
would
hope
so
that
we
can
build
this
relationship
together
to
really
undertake
a
unified
funding
request
that
I
think
would
be
responsive
to
what
people
in
our
communities
are
telling
us
that
they
want
transformation
and
part
of
that
transformation
really
does
involve,
ensuring
that
we
have
appropriate
investments
in
communities,
appropriate
investments
in
social
services
and
I'm
very
gratified
that
I'm
able
to
work
with
our
with
our
chief
of
police
on
on
these
important
issues.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
B
It
also
includes
sexism
and
when
we
talk
about
racialized
women,
they
face
a
double
whammy
in
terms
of
discrimination
and
comments,
and
this
is
something
that
we
have
to
fight
back
on.
I
appreciate
the
comments
of
the
of
the
chief
on
working
on
these
issues.
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
effort
and
I
hope
that
you'll
work
with
City
Council
on
this,
because
we
all
feel
very
strongly
of
the
concerns
with
recent
comments
that
we've
heard
all
the
kinds
of
comments.
The
client
comments
that
we
are
hearing
don't
reflect
just
one
individual.
B
So
we
need
to
work
together
to
make
sure
that
that
is
resolved
as
well
as
how
the
public
are
treated,
which
is
obviously
at
the
forefront
these
days.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
bringing
this
motion
forward
member
at
nerman
and
and
just
the
added
reminder
of
the
of
the
concern
for
gender
equity
as
well.
Thank
you,
Thanks.
A
D
You,
and
by
wished,
thanks
for
councillor
Kavanagh
for
coming
and
extending
your
support,
means
a
lot
to
us
as
a
board
and
definitely
going
forward.
I
will
be
discussing
with
all
the
respective
board
members
at
how
we
can
work
together
with
the
with
your
with
your
issues
as
well,
and
of
course,
we
have
rightly
said
issues
which
you
have
brought
forward
are
equally,
are
equally
important
and
plugs
into
the
systemic
racism
and
bias.
So
thanks
once
again
and
I
look
forward
to
be
working
with
you
as
well.
Thank.
J
You
chair
just
learning
how
to
raise
my
hand
on
zoom'
but
wanted
to
respond.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
councillor
Cavanaugh
again,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
do
a
tour
of
her
neighborhood.
She
was
very
passionate,
very
knowledgeable
about
local
needs
and
very
measured
but
determined,
making
sure
I
understood
the
need
to
provide
services
to
the
most
marginalized
and
often
disenfranchised
often
racialized
communities
in
the
nation's
capital.
I
reached
out
to
her
recently
to
speak.
J
Her
advice
and
wise
counsel
on
the
issues
of
gender
equity,
violence
against
women,
and
particularly
the
work
sure
that
you
and
I
are
undertaking
around
advancing
a
strategy
to
reduce
the
impact
of
workplace,
sexual
violence
and
sexual
harassment.
She
was
very
generous
in
her
time
and
her
advice
and
equally
passionate
around
the
topic
again
I'm,
hoping
that
we'll
continue
to
be
able
to
tap
into
her,
formally
or
informally
on
this
very
important
subject
and
I
absolutely
recognize
the
intersectionality
between
race
and
gender
and
I.
J
It's
my
intention
that,
whether
we
tackle
an
issue
of
racism
or
an
issue
of
sexism
or
an
issue
of
homophobia,
that
a
rising
tide
will
raise
all
the
boats
in
the
harbor
that,
wherever
we
decide
to
put
our
efforts
to
create
more
equity
and
inclusion,
it
should
affect
every
member
who's
facing
any
any
service
member
who's
facing
any
inequity
and
exclusion
and
any
community
member
who's
facing
any
inequity
or
exclusion.
And
that
should
be
the
goal
of
every
one
of
our.

Hi
sheriff
sandy
I
just
wanted
to
just
a
quick
comment.
I
want
to
thank
member
nerman
for
putting
forward
such
a
thoughtful
and
important
motion.
Member
nerman
was
formulating
this
motion
before
the
recent
events
that
took
place
in
the
United
States.
This
speaks
to
his
understanding
of
the
issue
before
was
launched
into
the
public
spotlight.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much
members
Rita.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
the
board
members?
Well,
I
wanted
to.
Thank
you
very
much
councillor
Cavanaugh
for
your
questions
and
comments
and
and
reflection
on
this
issue
is
I.
Think
everybody's
mentioned.
This
is
extremely
important
and
I
think
we're
finally
making
some
traction
on
it.
Is
the
motion
carried
as
amended
Eddie,
yet
his.
C
D
Small
but
I
have
a
small
motor
small
note
of
thanks
on
the
carrying
of
this
motion
can
I,
of
course.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Acting
chair,
Smallwood
I
want
to
thank
you
and
all
of
my
board,
colleagues,
for
the
support
of
this
motion,
focus
on
addressing
the
systemic
racism
and
structural
barriers
that
continue
to
exist
within
the
o-p-s
and
our
community.
D
As
you
all
know,
this
is
an
issue
that
I
am,
but
we
passionate,
passionate
about
and
committed
to
addressing,
based
on
men.
Many
conversation
I
had
in
developing
this
motion
and
in
reflecting
on
my
own
lived
experience
and
my
reaction
to
a
series
of
events
what
locally
and
internationally.
It
was
important
for
me
that
we
took
action
collectively.
D
We
must
ensure
that
Ottawa
police
services
continues
to
be
a
leader
in
advancing
EDI
and
the
cultural
and
structural
changes
required
to
serve
our
increasingly
diverse
community
in
a
manner
that
respects
human
rights
and
the
dignity
in
the
value
of
every
resident
through
the
board.
I
look
forward,
working
with
the
chief
and
his
team
and
with
councilor
King
and
councillor
Cavanaugh,
to
ensure
that
the
on
the
words
his
motion
leads
to
a
meaningful
change
that
our
members
and
our
community
can
see
and
feel.
I
profoundly
thank
you
all
once
again.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Remember
Norman
I
think
I
speak
on
behalf
of
all
the
board
members
that
we
realize
the
importance
of
this
motion
to
you
and
the
the
enthusiasm
with
which
you've
attacked
this
and
and
brought
it
forward
and
make
sure
the
I
have
no
doubt
that
you
will
continue
to
work
hard
to
make
sure
that
this
becomes
more
than
just
a
series
of
words.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
efforts
here.
I
think
I'm,
going
to
I'm
going
to
now
go
to
item
number
four
on
the
agenda,
which
is
response
to
inquiry.
A
B
This
is
I
really
appreciate
members
for
bringing
this
forward,
because
this
is,
as
I've
mentioned
already,
the
double
whammy
of
racism
and
sexism
together
and
the
concern
and
with
events
in
the
last
few
days
of
comments
that
we've
heard
in
allegations.
We've
heard
I
am
very
very
concerned
about
any
comments
against
a
woman,
because
those
comments
are
slandered
to
all
women.
We
all
feel
it
and
it's
very
very
concerning
and
we
cannot
tolerate
it.
This
is
something
that
has
to
be
dealt
with
and
I'm,
trusting
that
the
chief
will
make
this
his
top
priority.
B
So
we
have
to.
We
have
to
work
continuously
on
this
issue,
so
I'm
I'm
asking
this,
and
it's
not
just
what
we
experienced
just
in
our
communities,
it's
it's
everywhere,
so
I'm
asking
for
this
to
be
a
priority
on
how
we
treat
women
and
particularly
racialized
women
in
our
community.
We
know
that
this
is
probably
the
largest
group
that
has
a
fear
about
police
and,
and
if
it's
based
on
realism,
then
that
is
a
big
concern.
B
J
Chair,
your
figure
me
out
here:
I
want
to
be
able
to
provide
some
common
again.
I
need
to
be
careful
as
to
related
ongoing
matters
are
precluded
from
from
speeding
substantially
further,
and
so,
if
it
could
just
suffice
to
say
that
we
have
I
have
reached
out
personally,
my
executive
officer
and
my
senior
members
have
reached
out
personally
to
the
affected
member
I've,
had
conversations
with
its
person
over
the
course
of
the
weekend,
and
my
team
have
picked
up
on
offering
practical
supports
to
her
in
her
family,
not
over
the
course
of
today.
J
A
B
B
J
J
That
would
look
to
be
in
the
best
way
possible
to
restore
rehabilitate
that,
assuming
that
the
context
didn't
require
a
pursuit
of
some
sort
of
suspension
and
or
separation,
and
ultimately,
one
that
allowed
the
organization
as
a
whole
to
ensure
that
the
likelihood
or
instances
of
that
type
of
conduct
would
be
prevented
in
the
future
and
the
impact
would
be
reduced
in
the
future.
I
know:
that's
very
generic,
but
I
again.
